TPR-010: Martyr Defiled - Young Gods.
Need I say more? TPR-010 is none other than the UK heavyweights Martyr Defiled! Having shared the stage with peers like Su***de Silence, Emmure, Despised Icon, Oceano, Thy Art Is Murder, and countless other legendary bands, Martyr Defiled helped shape the UK’s deathcore scene during a time when the genre was still gaining international traction. Formed in 2007, they were among the first UK bands to successfully merge American-style deathcore—brutal breakdowns, blast beats, and death metal riffing—with a British hardcore influence.
With deep guttural vocals, chugging riffs, atmospheric/melodic interludes, and crushing breakdowns, “Young Gods” was the most refined & evolved version of their sound. While not as technical as prior releases, this album is more groove-driven & influenced by hardcore with elements of beatdown.
Having just played their last ever set at Ghostfest 2025, I don’t think there could be a better send off than finally getting the rest of their discography on vinyl, starting with YG.
