Martyr
Martyr was formed in 1982 and debuted with the very interesting
For The Future in 1985, mixing technical riffing with a
pre-thrash base.
Certainly an atypical sound for a Dutch band (or for that matter
any metal band at that time),
the album won a decent amount of critical and fan
approval.
A year later they released the followup
Darkness At Times End,
but the lack of promotion, coupled with the band's
inability to find a large audience for their unconvential style,
spelled the end of the band, with the group breaking up in 1987.
The guys got together for a reunion show in October of 2001, and
buoyed by its success, did some more reunion shows in 2005 and
eventually released a new album in late 2011.
Note: no relation to
Martyr,
the Canadian technical death metal band.
