MARTYR: Fear The Universe

It seems the dutch masters Martyr are reformed. I'm a big fan of their classic "For the universe", one of the best records from Holland; a progressive metal classic with tons of atmosphere. The dark obscure powers and the somehow thin production make this album an immortal piece of music; I love this production.

Well it seems they re-recorded this classic and made some new songs. I'm not a fan of re-recorded material but sometimes it works excellent, for example Sacred Blade/Othyrworld re-recorded their classic album and it sounds more then great. I can't open myspace for some reason to check some new songs, so my question is: Does someone heard this one? How are the new songs?

Yes. Horrible.

No melody, no atmosphere, bad modern sounds. It doesn't sound like Martyr.

I thought they just remastered FTU. At least, that's what it said on the website when I checked out the new songs.

Sadly i have to agree with Black Axe

.

The new songs are a bit strange, not what you expect from a band like MARTYR.

Just checked out the new stuff. No, not my bag at all, but I was expecting something even worse. It sounded more 90's than 00's, which is only the 2nd worst thing imaginable I guess. "I am the most evil one" could have been decent if it weren't for the weak & pointless 'groooovy' riffing.

Don't you mean "old" bands going modern?

This is why i love Maiden, they always keep it old school. All these "old" bands who reinvent themselves into modern pieces of shit can fuck off!!!
