MartYriuM

MartYriuM are a long-running extreme metal band from Malta, originally formed way back in 1991. They're known for their intense and blasphemous blend of black and death metal, often incorporating elements of thrash and even some gothic influences. Over the years they've built a dedicated following with their dark, theatrical live shows and consistently brutal albums exploring themes of occultism, Satanism, and ancient mythology. They've become a leading force in the Maltese metal scene and have gained international recognition as well.

While the band's lineup has shifted over the decades, founding member and vocalist Count Mortem remains the driving force behind MartYriuM. They've released a substantial catalog of albums and EPs, continuing to evolve their sound while staying true to their extreme metal roots. If you're looking for dark, aggressive, and relentlessly heavy music with a theatrical flair, MartYriuM is definitely worth checking out.
