Holy Martyr is an Italian epic metal band. Their first official release was in 2007,but they were many years in the underground. Their music influences are bands like Manowar (early period),Iron Maiden, Omen, Manilla Road and Rainbow. Their lyrics are based in History, Mythology and War.
Their first demo cd was
‘’Hatred and Warlust’’. This release had very good reviews and spread their name in the underground. Lots of fanzines described Holy Martyr as one of the best underground metal bands.
Next release was the ep
‘’Hail to Hellas’’(2003).This release is dedicated to the Battle of Thermopyles and the Spartan warriors. The sound is not the best but the passion of this band and the epic feeling is what really counts.
“Vis Et Honor” (2005) was their next release and this time their inspiration was Ancient Roman Empire and Roman Legionaries.
Next album(and full length cd) was
‘’Still at war’’. A great epic metal release with 8 war hymns of true epic metal. Music that makes you feel you are in a battlefield..Marching rhythm, great melodies, lyrics about War, Glory and a Europe that slowly dies..
Their new release is on 12th September and it’s called
‘’HELLENIC WARRIOR SPIRIT’’.Once again their inspiration is Ancient Greece and the greek warrior spirit. Everyone they are into Epic Metal should check this great Italian band.Bands like Holy Martyr need all of our support.
