about

Extracting the Core is Martyr's live album. It was recorded in Summer 2001 in Rouyn-Noranda, Canada.

THIS IS THE REAL RAW 2001 WARP ZONE ERA LINE UP LIVE!! THIS IS HOW THEY SOUNDED LIKE IN THEIR EARLY AND MID TWENTIES!!
Attacking the sequestered sub-genre of technical metal with a fast and precise rhythmic style placed within a rock/jazz framework not dissimilar to the later work from Death, Martyr cluster dense melodic explorations in counterpoint to rhythm riffing which builds on songs centered tonally around drifting variants of a series of phrases culminating in a quick melodic descent to a point of conflict resolving each song. Harmony is insistent and recumbent, unfurling adeptly within a balanced point of phrase to invert the suspension of tonal expectation as a whole, changing often in a closure of immediate cycle that becomes the stepping point for rectification of the next.

Suspended completion in tone outshadows the shape of phrasing, using percussive notions of phrasal fulcrum to explode with either abrupt rhythm changes or the delicate, interlaced patterns of lead guitar recursion that outline tonal placement, provides structure while embellishment becomes a consistent fill explicating the internal dialogue to string and rhythmic complements completing the boundaries of phrase context. Fiery agile fingers of lead guitar playing emphasize in a jazz/fusion style the shifting nature of tone while the importance of harmony is outlined with an evocative sense of modal settlement. In the guitar playing of this album there is a clear compositional heritage to the jazz/death of Death or Pestilence more than the acerbic and contorted theoretically nihilistic progressive works from more underground bands, and in this style metal has found a champion that eschews the sentimental indulgences of Death and foregoes all aesthetic woes to get closer to the emerging musical developments specific to this form of the genre.
