Swedish crustpunk horde MARTYRDÖD have
officially inked a multi-release deal with Southern Lord Recordings, and are
currently barricaded in the infamous Studio Fredman (At The Gates,
Amon Amarth, Opeth) recording their debut label LP, Paranoia.
After formation in 2001, MARTYRDÖD, have since
slammed the crustpunk and underground metal scene with a surplus of CD and LP
releases on such brutal labels as Plaguebearer, Havoc, Farewell, La Familia and
Prank, as well as sporadic touring across Europe and a massive offensive on the
United States in 2011.
In an scene overabundant with clones of the founding/front
running acts of the genre, MARTYRDÖD manage to remain heavily
unique in their filth-ridden approach. While undeniably influenced by acts like
Anticimex, Bathory, Totalitär, Oral and Wolfpack, the band intertwines their
crust roots with sinister, haunting soundscapes and unique riff attacks. With
genuine Swedish lyrics, distinguished songwriting manifested through bleak and
obscure original artwork MARTYRDÖD will continue to conjure up
their blackened d-beat crust, now under the Southern Lord banner.
Paranoia will be released sometime this
Spring/Summer 2012. Stay tuned for more updates on MARTYRDÖD in
the weeks ahead.
Martyrdöd lineup:
Mikael Kjellman - guitar, vocals
Pontus Redig - guitar
Anton Grönholm - bass
Jens Bäckelin - drums
