Martyrdöd is a Swedish crustcore and D-beat band from Gothenburg , which was founded in 2001.

history

The band was founded in 2001 and consisted of singer and guitarist Mikael Kjellman, bassist Anton Grönholm, drummer Jens Bäckelin and guitarist Pontus Redig. A short time later, Grönholm left the line-up and was replaced by a number of other bassists. In 2003 a self-titled debut album was released, which was followed by a split release called We Walk the Line with Sunday Morning Einstein's in 2004 . The release of the album In Extremis in 2005 was followed by several tours. Sekt , which appeared in 2009, was the first publication to appear on both sides of the Atlantic . After a European tour , the band signed a contract with Southern Lord , about which the album Paranoia was released in 2012 , which was recorded in Studio Fredman under the direction of Fredrik Nordsträm . In mid-2012 the band went on tour through the USA with Black Breath , Burning Love and Enabler . On the 2014 album Elddop you can hear Fredrik Reinedahl as bassist, who has already worked as a producer for bands such as Sólstafir , Abandon , Burst and Dimension Zero . In the same year the band also held a European tour with Converge and Okkultokrati .

style

According to Thom Jurek from Allmusic , the band plays crustcore and d-beat and has influences from black metal . southernlord.com describes Martydöd as a crustpunk band. She was influenced by groups like Anti Cimex , Bathory and Totalitarian . According to Gretha Breuer from Rock Hard , the band started their career playing D-Beat. On Elddop , the group was not calmer, but more expressive. In an interview with Breuer, Kjellman and Bäckelin stated that they worked as impulsively as possible for the album. In a previous issue, Simon Dümplemann reviewed Elddop . The album contains the hoarse cries of Skitsystem and melodic guitar work from the album Rites of separation of Agrimonia . The members of Martyrdöd would also come from the environment of these two bands. Black metal influences are not audible on the album this time. The album is suitable for fans of crustcore, hardcore punk , but also at the gates . According to Ollie Fröhlich from Ox-Fanzine , the band plays fresh, energetic, but melodic crustcore on In Extremis . The band can be classified as a link between the Wolf Brigade and the ski system, as the melodic moments of the first are combined with the hysterical singing of the second band. Kalle Stille from the same magazine found that the band on paranoia sounded like the less rocking version of KVELERTAK “ between insane bludgeoning, crust, black metal and D-beat ”. Fine guitar runs are processed in the songs and the singing is groaned. Compared to its predecessor, there is “significantly less continuous beating, but more structure and significantly better production”.
