Martriden has digitally released "Cold and The Silence" as of Nov. 28th 2015, currently available on http://martriden.bandcamp.com Possible vinyl and other forms of physical releases to be announced in the near future.
UPDATE
Martriden has released a new album entitled "Encounter the Monolith." It is currently only available at their website http://martridenrocks.com. The album features six songs with an approximate running time of 50 minutes. The CD was mixed and mastered by Dave Otero of Flatline Audio. The band previously said about the new album, "We feel it contains some of the most brutal, epic, and perhaps most importantly, the most interesting bits of music we've put together. We are confident that it is the best collection of songs we've composed!"
Martriden is an american melodic death/black metal band with progressive and symphonic influences. They were fully formed in 2005 in their home state of Montana, USA.
Boasting a sound and sophistication far beyond their years and experience as a band, Martriden are one of the few Black/Death Metal bands from the US that MORE than stand up to their European counterparts in terms of everything listeners have come to expect from the genre.
Drawing influence from Opeth, Behemoth, Emperor, Bloodbath, Enslaved and everything in between, Martriden do not just pulverise and maim but also possess the ability to write incredible songs with the kind of dynamics seen in few bands these days. Epic arrangements, relentless drumming and acid gargling vocals? Check. Symphonic melodies, soaring keyboards and rich, thick guitar parts? Check. Rest assured that this band will be appreciated and loved by anyone who prefer a touch of class to their daily headbanging fodder.
Following successful US tour dates with the mighty EMPEROR, as well as a phenomenally well received self titled EP via SOAR in March 07, the potential that Martriden offer started to be acknowledged and their next offering eagerly awaited by all...March 2008 sees the arrival of their debut full length, ‘The Unsettling Dark’. With a faultless and huge sounding production from Dave Otero (Cephalic Carnage), the album is a bombastic statement of intent; nigh on an hour of continent sized compositions that will both elevate and bludgeon the listener....the perfect balance of melody and heaviness.
A Season In Hell
Martriden Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hate!
To you I entrust my treasure
Walking along old paths
Marching forward
The burden growing
My soul descends before me
Misfortune is my god
As the plagues smother in blood
The beast glares as I descend
As I make my choices
And swallow it down
Venom twists my limbs
Suffocates and deforms me
I cannot scream, feeling myself burn
Eternal punishment, this is Hell!
The clock of life has stopped
No longer with this world
Fading now into the depths
Ecstasy, Nightmare and sleep
In a nest of flame
I will unveil the mystery
Future, past and nothingness
I am the master
The lyrics of Martriden's song "A Season In Hell" depict someone who has given up hope and entrusted their treasure to someone or something. They are walking along old paths, with the burden growing as they purge their mind of hope. Misfortune is their god, and plagues smother in blood as they descend deeper into their own personal Hell. The singer makes choices, but they only serve to suffocate and deform them. They cannot scream as they burn, trapped in eternal punishment. Finally, they fade into the depths in a nest of flame, where they will unveil the mystery of future, past, and nothingness as the master of their own Hell.
