The first EP, "The Hurt, The Divine, The Light", released on the 18th of November 2009, received great response and success and allowed to the band to tour the UK, France, Belgium, Luxembourg and Switzerland further promoting their music. Now sold out in 90% of the stores, this first CD created a real buzz in the European continent and brought a huge fan-base to the band.
In 2011, there were some big changes for the band. Since former guitarist (Fabien) and singer (Eddie) have left the band, they have been replaced by guitarist Lucas and vocal import Aaron. A brand new shredding guitarist and an English born vocal monster, who's going to bring the band to a whole new international level.
They recently released a debut album called "Breathe In Life"
It is important for them to use the music they love to raise awareness on positive messages for the people out there. They are looking to help people through their songs with words and idealisms that may help people figure out who they are and what they believe in, whether it be Christianity, a new way of life, or just to help people find happiness and a good way in life for themselves.
Wherever possible BTM will be supporting positive organizations and associations throughout their concerts, and can’t wait to meet open minded people that will discuss music, idealisms and beliefs with them.

Legends Never Die
Betraying the Martyrs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Whilst I dreamed to do what you had done
A shadow beneath you, just a hopeful son
Hopeful son, just a shadow beneath you
Every dream I had dreamt, every step I will take
For you I'll keep on screaming, 'til your cold hearts wake
And we scream along with you
Those who truly live will never die
The memories you left us will keep you alive
In peace but still dreaming, in silence yet still screaming,
Laid to rest in your eternal nest, just dreaming
Eternal flames burn bright tonight, the brightest was a part of you
A broken heart built by the hands of her hero, the hands of her hero
Every dream I had dreamt, every step I will take
For you I'll keep on screaming, 'til your cold hearts wake
For now it's you, the one who's dreaming
And we scream along with you
Those who truly live will never die
The memories you left us will keep you alive
You once said "You Only Live Once"
But you will live forever
Yes, you will live forever
Because legends never die
The song Legends Never Die by Betraying the Martyrs is a tribute to a person who has been a great inspiration in someone's life, most likely the lead singer of the band. The opening lines "You screamed inspiration into my lungs, Whilst I dreamed to do what you had done" express how the inspiration from the person has become an integral part of the singer, and he always aspired to achieve what the person has done. The singer considers himself as a "shadow" and the person he is inspired by as the "hero" or the "legend".
But the person has passed away, and the singer is mourning his loss. The lyrics, "Those who truly live will never die, The memories you left us will keep you alive" emphasizes how the person's legacy lives on, and he will be remembered forever. As the person's dreams remain intact, the singer pledges to carry them forward, and he will scream for him until his "cold heart wakes." The chorus "Those who truly live will never die" repeats several times emphasizing the importance of living life to the fullest and leaving behind a legacy that will live on forever.
As the song progresses, the singer reminisces the person's life and how he inspired others to dream big. The line "Eternal flames burn bright tonight, the brightest was a part of you, A broken heart built by the hands of her hero, the hands of her hero," seems to refer to the person's passion or spirit which is very much alive, and the singer is just a vessel that facilitates its passage. The song ends with "You once said 'You Only Live Once', But you will live forever, Yes, you will live forever, Because legends never die," signifying that even though the person is no more, his influence in the singer's life is too significant to disappear.

Lucas's singing is really good. He should sing more often.
Martin Šurych
I agree, I prefer his singing over the other guy in the band. In that case it's sometimes too soft and his noticeable French accent in certain parts annoys a bit
KEO SOUNDS
Agreed, Lucas' vocals are a nice change of pace from the keyboard dude that is kind of trying too hard to sound like .. whatever. Example : 3:19
Sam Grist

Monica kats
