Bands that rocked back in the days are no longer delivering the goods... This very day, there are no pretenders to the throne of conventional heavy metal. But there’s still hope for the future! The members of the renowned Dutch band MARTYR travelled through time and space in preparations of their new album which is the successor to their notorious ‘Live In Japan’ album which was released in 2019.
