Martyrdöd HAS completed recording their new album, Elddop, at Studio Fredman, the follow up to the powerful declaration of political
Rage that was their 2012-released Southern
Lord debut, Paranoia.
The band's fifth LP is the most emotionally intrusive record from the Swedish four-piece yet. Relentlessly forcing its way into the most obscure corners of the human mind, Elddop challenges
The Darkness by way of confronting it, and thus already pierces its way through
The Black, towards
Spiritual release. The daring 14 song record allows
Martyrdöd to elaborate on some of the musical themes and influences that have long characterized their sound. Securely placed in traditional Swedish
Hardcore punk such as Anti-Cimex,
Martyrdöd stands on the shoulders of giants, seeing further, wanting more. Enchanting melodies and Bathory-esque folk music finds a perfect fit in war charged d-beat mayhem.
Martyrdöd recently recruited Fredrik Reinedahl on bass, who
HAS stacked up production and engineering credits for bands,
Sólstafir,
Abandon,
Burst,
Crowpath,
Dimension Zero,
Gadget and
Memfis to name a few.
Southern
Lord is currently plotting a CD/LP release sometime in
August, with a special European version of the vinyl coming out on La Familia and D-beat Raw Punk. Final release dates and details will be released in the near future.
Martyrdöd HAS also been confirmed to inundate Europe in
August, joining Okkultokrati as support for
Converge in
August, coordinated with the release of Elddop that month. Additional tour actions will be announced throughout the rest of the year.

Made up of some of the crust scene's top combatants, including members of Agrimonia,
Miasmal,
Skitsystem, and others,
Martyrdöd fuses epic and black
Metal influences into crust punk, creating an unfathomable
Darkness to staggering effect on their game-changing
In Extremis LP, and the aforementioned Paranoia, which
Saw them expand their sound with more dynamic leads, empowering dis-harmonies and tension-filled buildups than
Ever before. The band
HAS built up a brutally-diehard fanbase in the underground, and they are truly unstoppable in the live setting.
Listen to Paranoia below and stand by for more updates as Elddop nears.
