There are few metal bands at the moment that manage to merge melody with technicality as expertly as New York City’s Martyrd does. And as evidenced by their new single/video, “Faceless,” the band continues to grow stronger with each successive release. Produced at Westfall Recording Company with engineers Anthony Lopardo and Raymond Marte, it doesn’t take long to discover that “Faceless” is a brutal whiplash of power and precision.
Comprised of singer Aaron Pollard, guitarists Michael Andreas and Mike Kitsos, bassist Brian Nichols, and drummer Adam Birula, Martyrd has quickly made a name for themselves on the US east coast, and with extensive touring projected for 2014, plan to spread the word far and beyond. Their last album, 2012’s sophomore effort, ‘The Mortal Coil,’ saw the group on tour with six-string legend Yngwie Malmsteen, while gaining praise from the metal press, including Guitar World Magazine, which proclaimed Martyrd was “A melee of blistering riffs and soaring vocal melodies sure to please fans of both Kreator and Symphony X.”
