Hexhammaren by Martyrdöd

Hexhammaren, the seventh LP by long-running Swedish crust band Martyrdöd, simultaneously marks a consolidation and a rejuvenation. Singer and guitarist Micke Kjellman and drummer Jens Bäckelin are the only original members of the band left. Their deep commitments to the aesthetic of d-beat and the ethos of kängpunk thoroughly dominate the record. But they’ve got a couple new bandmates: Tim Rosenqvist has played with the band since 2015, but for this record he moves from bass to second guitar; bass player and author Daniel Ekeroth now fills out the band’s bottom end. He provides a thicker sound, and that’s a good thing. Hexhammaren is a vigorous, venomous record. Kjellman and Bäckelin have been making songs like these for nearly twenty years, but they’re still plenty pissed off.

Century Media Records

Martyrdöd release new single and official video for “Helveteslarm“ off upcoming album “Hexhammaren”!

Always wondered what “Helveteslarm” stands for? It’s the sounds of pure hellish noise, which is visualized now via the new single/video by Swedish metal crust punks MARTYRDÖD!

Soon to release their seventh studio album “Hexhammaren” on May 10th, 2019 via Century Media Records, MARTYRDÖD are now bringing us “Helveteslarm” in a clip produced by Jimmy Johansson / Super Lino Puro, which can be seen here: https://youtu.be/FBXXlUCrNBY

MARTYRDÖD checked in with the following comment: “Helveteslarm: It's the sound of hell on earth. The sound of evil forces ravaging the world for power. War dogs, warmongers using liberation as a pretext for profiteering. The video was planned and shot over a couple of days only a few weeks before release. The Idea was to portray some of the real driving forces behind armed conflict in the world and their ruthlessness.“

Also check out the previously released single “Cashless Society“ here: https://youtu.be/cMh9ynqic3E or here: https://martyrdod.lnk.to/HexhammarenFA

The recording of “Hexhammaren” was once more done by Fredrik Nordström at Studio Fredman (Wolfpack, At The Gates, In Flames) in Gothenburg, Sweden. The album will be available as limited CD in O-Card packaging with a Dischange cover version (“After-War Scars”) as bonus track in its first pressing or alternatively as 180gr. LP with A2 poster. Century Media Records are handling the release of “Hexhammaren” for the world outside of North America, where Southern Lord Recordings are looking after the album.
