Cover Art by Martyrum
Pure brutal black metal is what we have here with some death metal sounds that give interesting contrasts to the music of this band. Here we have the ultrafast riffs with the tortured vocals that are essential to the blackness of Martyrum´s music. We have some melodies done with this riffs that make one note progressions. And we have here a killer drummer who is a double bass machine and that is fundamental to the essence of Martyrum´s music. All the recording is done at full speed, even the Metallica cover, the glorious "Motorbreath". The sound is good and the guitar sound more brutal with this production where they have been mixed loud enough as the drums to achieve the brutality that this release must have.
Favorite tracks: "Nordic Domain", "Creature of the Light" and "Burning Blood"
