Martyrdoom is a death/doom metal band from Warsaw, Poland, formed in 2017. They craft crushing doom-death compositions steeped in oppressive heaviness.
Martyrdxm is a atmospheric black metal band from Moscow, Russia, formed in 2020. They craft expansive, atmospheric black metal compositions with textural depth.
Martyrdöd formed in Gothenburg, Sweden in 2001, operating at the intersection of Scandinavian d-beat crust punk and blackened thrash metal, drawing on Anti Cimex, Totalitär, and Bathory as primary influences. The band released a string of albums through Southern Lord Records—including Paranoia (2012), Elddop (2014), and List (2016)—before signing to Century Media for Hexhammaren (2019). Their ability to embed melodic hooks and atmospheric darkness into otherwise brutal crust frameworks has sustained critical attention across nearly twenty-five years of activity.
Ruthless Death Metal from Austin.
Martyrion is a melodic death metal band from Cologne, Germany, founded in 2006, whose music is set in a dystopian 2153 scenario of civilizational collapse. Their releases "Our Dystopia" and "Gaia Uprising" blend catchy melodies, powerful solos, and atmospheric storytelling into a conceptually ambitious take on melodic death metal.
Martyrium is an atmospheric black metal project from Bremen, Germany, active since 2001. Their over two decades of output mark them as one of the longest-running atmospheric black metal acts in northern Germany, channeling ethereal darkness and contemplative intensity.
Martyrium wove Gothic and Doom Metal together with lyrics drawing on literature, fantasy, and Thelemic philosophy, bringing a distinctly introspective and melancholic tone to the Minas Gerais underground. The band, whose Bandcamp release "Abandon Hope" captures their brooding sound, was short-lived, splitting up not long after forming in the early 2000s.
Martyrizer played short, abrasive grindcore in the tradition of the Belo Horizonte extreme underground, releasing the six-track "Sick Music To An Extreme World" in April 2014. They also appeared on the compilation "Crushed Vol. II" and performed live that same year at the Metal Punk Overkill III festival before eventually disbanding.
A black metal project from Gävle, Martyrum has been crafting dark compositions since 2023. The project channels martyrdom themes into atmospheric, ritualistic black metal.
