Review: The American label
Regimental Records has recently discovered the
Netherlands as a well of unsigned metal bands. Cirith
Gorgor, Onheil, and Martyr were all given the chance to
release some of their material. Martyr re-released its
third demo cd with them. Since the demo cd Resurrection
of Our Prophecies Martyr hasn't changed its course
and still bring fast melodic metal in the vein of Abigor,
and in lesser extent Marduk, not unlike country and label
mates Cirith Gorgor. The six tracks on the album are
tightly played (and contain some echoes that need, and I
quote: "powerful stereo equipment to be
experienced"... allrighty then, let's not get
carried away here) and well-written structures (courtesy
of guitarist Haat). Lyrically Martyr can be found in the
misanthropic death-to-humanity corner - I guess, death
metal then!... "The gods are harmless if not
powerless so to speak..." Through religion the gods
bring more death to this globe than all misanthropy and
nihilism added up - but that's always food for rich
discussions!
