Biography
1) A Canadian technical death metal band. Martyr’s intricate and aggressive Technical Metal style is built on complex structures which allies a multitude of emotions from many different musical approaches. The music is not limited to the conventions of traditional metal music, the band striving to push those limits to create a more open-minded concept.
HISTORY & ACTUAL LINEUP
Martyr is based in Quebec, Canada. Their music is often seen as technical progressive death metal.
Martyr’s concept was officially created in 1994 by François and Daniel Mongrain.
In September 1995, Martyr released a promotional demo, OSTROGOTH.
In May 1997, Martyr began the production of their debut album, HOPELESS HOPES.
In September 1997, a very talented drummer, Patrice Hamelin joined the band after François Richard’s departure. HOPELESS HOPES was then released in November (independent release).
In the Winter of 2002, Martin Carbonneau joined the band as a replacement for Pier-Luc Lampron on the guitar. In the past, Martin happened to play with Patrice’s debut band.
In 1999, Martyr recorded the WARP ZONE album at Victor Studio with producer Pierre Rémillard (Anvil, Gorguts, Cryptopsy, Quo Vadis). Guest vocalist Luc Lemay from Gorguts made a narration on the last track of the album.
In the Summer of 2001, Martyr recorded a live concert in Rouyn (QC, Canada) for the production of a live album, EXTRACTING THE CORE, which was released in September 2001 through Skycraper Music.

First listen and i'm pretty amazed. I hear elements of stuff like Botch and Strapping Young Lad as well as the more typical prog/tech-death fare.

Officially on hiatus/on hold. Check their website and/or facebook. I hope their merch section comes back, they still deserve support and I want a Feeding The Abscess tab book for guitar, even though I'll never be able to play their songs.

Best tech-death ever, once you get used to the vocals. I don't even listen to other tech-death bands on a regular basis.
