"Drown deep into your soul..." Suffering screams fading away Buried are the scars of agony Forgotten decades of drying tears Still, I'm unceasingly dying Under the staring eyes of the outraged I leave for a higher level of existence Hope for a translucid conscience Obsesses my ignorance No more demons to exorcise Never will they materialize There's just one wish that I implore for But I can't afford it anymore I loathe your realm of glory and fame In a world so restrained, life's a pity I leave this world without regrets Without the pain, I should forget Warp zone

about

Warp Zone is Martyr's 2nd full-length album. It was released on March 11, 2000.

The atmosphere of the album constantly shifts between aggression and melancholy, with a variety of transitions that are greatly aided by the band’s technical ability to write and play complicated songs. This keeps the album consistently fresh, even after 5+ listens. Each track has plenty going on, but Martyr doesn’t fall into the trap that plagues so many technical metal bands: complexity for it’s own sake. Never was I thinking that any moment in the album was just for ‘showing off.’ The technicality serves the song, not the other way around. And serve it does. Tempo changes are extremely common, and they unsettle while keeping things interesting. Dan and Francois Mongrain’s vocals are an interesting mix between the chant-like qualities of Slayer’s Tom Araya and the classic guttural death metal growl. Lampron and Dan Mongrain’s guitar work is impeccable, and they can effortlessly switch between quick, precise melodies and crushing riffs. Hamelin’s drumming has no trouble keeping up, and his primal, brutal sound often keeps the album grounded. Francois Mongrain’s bass work is solid, and helps drive the tracks forward. The mix really highlights these performances, as all the instruments are distinctly audible. None of the brutality comes from the production, but it doesn’t need to. The performances speak for themselves and the production supports them, leading to a sound that is clean without being overly sanitized. Overall, this is a great album, and any fan of metal owes it to themselves to give this one a shot.

I have listened to this album over and over and over again and it is one of the very few that have kept my attention no matter how much I listen to it. Boundaries mean nothing to Car Bomb, so even if this seems out of your comfort zone I strongly doubt that anyone could regret listening to this album. D33DS

This album feels more cybernetic and metallic than Labyrinth Constellation, but the ferocious claustrophobia and masterful, mutated melodies remain. I love this band. 𝙑𝙖𝙚𝙙𝙚𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙨
