===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.
Martire was an Adelaide death metal band, formed in 1986 by Vince Feleppa, Frank Usmani, Tony Vlav and Luch Sordillo. Dave Hopgood replaced Sordillo and in 1991 the band recorded an EP collecting songs from earlier demos. The band supported '''Morbid Angel''' in 1992 and after this ground to a halt.  
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.
Don Taylor joined in 1995 and Feleppa resurrected the band, bringing in The Serpent Inquisitor and The Great Righteous Destroyer from [[StarGazer]] to complete the line-up. The band released a split 7" with '''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. That album, ''Brutal Legions of the Apocalypse'' was finally completed and released in 2012.


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]].
