Martyr unterschreiben bei ROAR! Rock of Angels Records
Dutch heavy metal veterans Martyr sign with ROAR! Rock of Angels Records!
During the five years that Martyr was alive and kicking (1982‐1987) the band released two albums that are considered cult in the metal scene today. ‘For The Universe’ (1985) and ‘Darkness At Time’s Edge’ (1986) are classic metal, a delight for those who love strong melodies, speedy riffs and a high level of technicality. Martyr disbanded in 1987 but reunited in 2001 to play the Heavy Metal Maniacs festival. In 2009 the first new Martyr record in almost 25 years was released. That’s when the new EP ‘Fear’ was coupled with a re‐release of the classic ‘For The Universe’ album as a double digipack entitled ‘Fear The Universe’. A complete new album entitled “Circle Of 8” was released by Metal Blade Records in November 2011 world‐ wide and has proven to be a significant impulse in Martyr’s revival after its release. In 2016, the band released their album ‘You Are Next’. More headline shows , festivals and support tours followed where the always hard working band conquered a bigger audience. Especially noticed also in Japan, where MARTYR toured Sept - Oct 2017. A ‘Live In Japan’ album is released May 31 2019 which captures the MARTYR experience at its finest. With a new full-length released at 24 February 2022 called ‘Planet Metalhead’ MARTYR has again shown the metal world to be a very strong force to be reckoned with!
Today we proudly announce the signing of a multi-album deal + back catalogue rights with MARTYR and welcome the band to the ROAR! Rock of Angels roster.
Martyr comment on the signing: “We are honored by our agreement and cooperation. Being so close and positive in contact with a label that has proven its success in the Metal scene, we can't wait to bring more MARTYR Metal on a broader scale into this world!”
ROAR! Rock Of Angels Records comments: “It is really an honor to begin this cooperation with such metal legends as Martyr! We as heavy metal fans ourselves feel proud to have added Martyr in the ranks of our ever-growing roster of high quality heavy metal bands!”
