MARTYRDÖD – Release New Music Video

MARTYRDÖD is a central figure in the modern era of the international community of crust — in no small part due to their members’ links to other exemplary bands such as Skitsystem and Agrimonia — but over the years, their powerful allure has resonated in a whole host of intrigued listeners across the spectrum of heavy, enamored by their bleak outlook and scorching melodies. For fifteen years, the members of MARTYRDÖD have honed their craft to a level of mastery, and it shows — List is quite possibly the most refined record to slip in to their furious, spiky discography, and it doesn’t let up for a moment.

Coinciding with the release of the “Harmagedon” video, MARTYRDÖD collectively proclaims, “This song pays homage to all people that keeps on fighting against all odds. Against supreme annihilating oppression. It’s a song of these current times.”

Adds the video’s director Jimmy Johansson, “This is how I imagined what a MARTYRDÖD video would look like. Intense, chaotic, in your face but, yet beautiful and clear.”

BrooklynVegan calls the track, “truly a ripper. It starts out as some brutal, breakbeck-speed D-beat, but “‘Harmagedon’ quickly reminds you that MARTYRDÖD are no average crust punks. It breaks into a middle passage that’s slow and kinda beautiful, and eventually it brings in the kind of guitar solo you usually hear from NWOBHM and classic-thrash bands. It kinda deserves the word ‘epic.'”
