Bila is a Maltese hardcore punk, noise rock trio active since 2014, known for short, aggressive songs delivered in Maltese and English. After a run of EPs, tours across Europe, the UK, and the US, and steady underground attention, the band arrives at its first full length with a clear idea of who they are and where they stand.

“Beżżalart” presents Bila in their rawest and most exposed form. The album channels urban pressure, political frustration, and dark humor into compact explosions of sound. The writing stays tight and confrontational, driven by shouted lines that stick quickly, especially when the band switches between languages. Maltese folklore and local realities shape the album’s identity, giving it a strong regional voice without needing explanation or decoration.

The production keeps everything harsh and physical. The sound favors abrasion over polish, with riffs and rhythms stacked in a way that presses forward constantly. The songs focus on impact and momentum, leaning on sharp changes and chant ready phrases. The album’s anger is often sharpened by sarcasm, which adds character and keeps the tension from flattening into one emotional note.

Across its runtime, “Beżżalart” stays consistent in tone and intent. The social themes are clear and repeated through different angles, especially around overdevelopment, political emptiness, and everyday suffocation. This approach makes the album easy to grasp and quick to absorb, even when the pace is relentless. At the same time, that consistency limits surprise, and some sections blur together after multiple listens.

“Beżżalart” works best as a snapshot of Bila at a specific moment, loud, frustrated, and rooted in their environment. It delivers energy and attitude in a straightforward way, leaving a solid impression without reaching beyond its own boundaries. As a debut album, it establishes presence and identity more than depth or range.

Score: 7.0
