Martyrdöd - Hexhammaren LP
MARTYRDÖD (Sweden) - Hexhammaren (2018) (sealed LP copy; Black vinyl). The band’s crushing seventh studio album, as with prior MARTYRDÖD works, was recorded by Fredrik Nordström at Studio Fredman (Wolfbrigade, At The Gates, Agrimonia) in Gothenburg, Sweden. MARTYRDÖD states of Hexhammaren, "The album came out really strong. We tried to just let loose and not get distracted with details. The recording was straight up raw and sincere with fast takes and improvised solos.” Martyrdöd manage to remain heavily unique in their filth-ridden approach. While undeniably influenced by acts like Anti-Cimex, Bathory, and Totalitär, the band intertwines their Crust roots with sinister, haunting soundscapes and unique blackened riff attacks. **originally published on the band's official bandcamp page** Southern Lord – LORD272
