Martyr "Warp Zone" /"Feeding the Abscess "

I must have "Warp Zone" since 2003 or 2004. I had listened to it a few times in the past. I have never given it much credit besides an occasional "wow".

I was at emusic trying to find anything that I wanted to get from my monthly plan and previewed Martyr's cds out of curiosity. And Man! These guys have finally blown me away. I don't think there is any other better tech death metal band. They kick ass of any other band in the genre. I spent my credits on their both latest cds.

Daniel Mongrain( he has a great name we cannot disagree ) is a real genius in the genre and you realize that by listening to its works. He is also one of the most accomplished tech metal theoretical gurus. I really recommend their cds. Imagine Gorguts ( atonalism, dissonances and brutality ), King Crimson ( avant guarde, atonal, poly this and that, etc ) and Meshuggah ( riffs , grooves and atonalism, bizarrisms, tempo experiments).

They are the top of listenings lately. Their web site link is at the right side of this blog. And indeed one of my current favorite bands.
