1) Martyr is a Dutch Heavy Metal and Thrash Metal band.
During the first five years that Dutch Steel Legends Martyr was active (1982-1987), the band released two albums that are considered cult in the Metal scene today. ‘For The Universe’ (1985) and ‘Darkness At Time’s Edge’ (1986) are classic Metal, a delight for those who love strong melodies, speedy riffs and a high level of technicality.
In those years, Martyr appeared on compilation albums from Roadrunner and Metal Blade, was voted Holland’s best new Metal band in Aardschok magazine, has toured with several international acts and appeared on Sky Channel’s Monsters Of Rock.
Martyr disbanded in 1987, but reunited in 2001 to play the Heavy Metal Maniacs festival. Four years later, the band revived almost the complete 1982 line up to play the Headbangers Open Air and Keep It True festivals. The flame has been burning again and the band continued to play live ever since. December 2008 MARTYR supported US Shock Rockers Lizzy Borden on their European tour. Summer 2009 MARTYR hit the European stages supporting Flotsam & Jetsam and in Fall they did the same with Vicious Rumors.
In 2009 the first new Martyr record in almost 25 years was released . That’s when the new EP ‘Fear’ will be coupled with a re-release of the classic ‘For The Universe’ album as a double digipack entitled ‘Fear The Universe’ on Rusty Cage Records (RCR0017).
2022 New album - Planet Metalhead
2) A Canadian technical death metal band. Martyr's intricate and aggressive Technical Metal style is built on complex structures which allies a multitude of emotions from many different musical approaches. The music is not limited to the conventions of traditional metal music, the band striving to push those limits to create a more open-minded concept.
Martyr is based in Quebec, Canada. Their music is often seen as technical progressive death metal.
Martyr's concept was officially created in 1994 by François and Daniel Mongrain.
Themes like affliction, oppression, and agony had to be conveyed by a single word. With this concept in mind, the name "Martyr" was decided upon. Martyr’s music is reflected through lyrics which express emotions such as anguish, outrage, revolt and indignation towards humanity, and the need to improve oneself within this harsh environment. But all in all, the best way to understand this is to listen to the music... and let it drown into your soul.
3) Martyr was a Dutch black metal band who made a couple of albums and disbanded starting over as 2 other bands. Haat - Vocals, Guitar (Onheil, Shrine (Hol))
I.N. Enthroned - Drums

4) Martyr was a Czech death metal group which consisted of Petr "Christopher" Kryštof, Paul Speckmann and Libor "Skull" Lebánek. All of them are known for their engagement in Krabathor and Master.

5) A Christian metal band from the late 1980s. Later went on to be Betrayal.

(Paroles: François Mongrain)
(Le système et ses normes, les religions, la politique et leurs dirigeants, les regroupements en puissance imposent leurs critères pour faire de nous de bons "citoyens modèles". Les gens se font manipuler à leur insu, puis quand la vérité voit le jour, il est souvent trop tard pour réagir. Hélas, il n'y a pas de place dans cette société pour ceux qui ne se conforment pas.)
(DM-) YOU LACERATE MY HEART
RESTRAIN MY ACTIONS
DEVIATE MY MIND
WRECK MY SCHEMES
DELUDE MY HOPES
STEAL MY FREEDOM
USURP MY LIFE
YOU STAIN MY HONOR
CONFUSE MY FAITH
BRIBE MY PRINCIPLE
ENSLAVE MY PRIDE
INFECT MY BLOOD
POLLUTE MY LUNGS
CONTAMINATE MY FLESH
GARBAGE MY LIFE
(FM-) SEVERING MY TIES WITH THIS SOCIETY
WILL IMPEL ME TO BREAK CONFORMITY
DON'T WANNA THROW AWAY MY SECURITY
BUT NOT MANY CHOICES ARE GIVEN TO ME
ALL YOUR CIRCUMLOCUTIONS
JUST PROVE HOW LOW IS YOUR SINCERITY
YOU FUMBLE WITHIN YOUR OWN LIES
TIME TO GIVE CAMERAS A SICKLY SMILE
THE EDUCATION SYSTEM YOU IMPOSED ON US
IS BUT A WAY TO HIDE YOUR TRUE INTENTIONS
WITH AN AUTOMATON-LIKE WAY OF THINKING
REVOLTS ARE OUT OF THE QUESTION
BLIND TOWARD THIS IGNOMINY
SOCIETY REPUDIATES ME
IF SILENCE IS GOLDEN AS IT IS TOLD
BEHIND THE STEELBARS SO I'LL BE THROWN
(Lead: François Mongrain)
(DM-) I READ YOUR TRACTS
FOLLOW YOUR LAWS
SWALLOW YOUR SPEACHES
WASTE MY TIME
WORK FOR NOTHING
PAY TWICE FOR EVERYTHING
I FAILED MY LIFE
(Lead: Daniel Mongrain)
(DM/FM-) WASH MY BRAIN ( WASH MY BRAIN)
WATCH I'M BRAINED (WATCH I'M BRAINED)
WHAT? MIND DRAINED (WHAT? MIND DRAINED)
WATT MY BRAIN (WATT MY BRAIN)
WASH MY BRAIN ( WASH MY BRAIN)
WATCH I'M BRAINED (WATCH I'M BRAINED)
(FM-) WORSHIP THIS FACTICE JUSTICE
AND YOU'LL BECOME A SLAVE OF IT
I WANNA BE "NON CONFORMIS"
(FM+DM-) NON CONFORMIS
The lyrics of Martyr's song Non Conformis reflect the struggle of individuals against societal norms, religions, politics, and their leaders. The song highlights the manipulation that people are subjected to, which often leads to them conforming to the standards imposed upon them. Society does not have a place for those who do not conform, and the consequences of rebellion are dire. The lyrics are filled with anger, frustration, and a sense of defeat as the singer feels the loss of their freedom, honor, and principles. The singers in the song have come to the realization that they have been brainwashed and controlled, compromising their beliefs and values, leading to a loss of individuality and identity. The last lines of the song reveal the desire to be a "non conformis," to break free from the shackles of conformity and be true to oneself.
Overall, the lyrics of Non Conformis convey the message that there is immense pressure on individuals to conform to societal norms, and those who resist face exclusion and condemnation. The song highlights the dangers of blind obedience, the importance of questioning authority, and the need for individuality in a world that values conformity.
