Band Information
Martire is an Adelaide band that plays extreme and outrageously raw and brutal thrash and death metal. One of the longest serving warriors on the Australian underground battlefront, Martire has been around in one form or another since 1986.
The debut album was recorded in 1991 with Feleppa, Tony Vlav (guitar), Dave Hopgood (drums) and Frank Usmiami (bass) and while originally intended as a demo was released on CD by Dominator Records. Martire shows the band as a raw and extreme blur of crushing and brutal unrestrained death metal, like a hyperfast Slayer. The band supported Morbid Angel in 1992 and after this ground to a halt.
Taylor joined in 1995 and resurrected the band, bringing in The Serpent Inquisitor and The Great Righteous Destroyer from StarGazer to complete the line-up. This formation has been together ever since, through long periods of inactivity.
The band released a split 7" with US death metal supremos Angelcorpse in 1999 and German label Merciless released another 7" EP in May 2001. A split with Polish band Throneum was issued in 2004, featuring some tracks originally recorded for a long-promised full length.
It seems that Martire is still a going concern with the album apparently near completion; Blake and Goode continue on with StarGazer and Taylor is a member of Slaughter Thou and Tzun Tzu.
