Founded in 1987 in Italy,
they were able to get no less than Rick Anderson (Damien
King III, ex WARLORD) for their musical visions. It
is exactly this conjuring voice and the adding of all
manners of classical instruments/choirs constitute a
lot of MARTIRIA’s appeal. Epic arrangements and
progressive song structures and many acoustic passages
are able to captivate you throughout the playing time.
If this gem would have been released in the eighties,
you would bow down with awe and praise this as a timeless
classic. (The
Metal Observer)

Chi
mi conosce sa che ho sempre avuto un debole per i Martiria sin
dall’uscita del primo lavoro The Eternal
Soul ed era quindi con fremente attesa che aspettavo la loro
prima esibizione live. Considero la band capitolina una delle
più belle realtà in campo epic metal a livello mondiale

giusto riconoscimento. Per quei pochi che sanno guardare oltre
la musica plastificata ed impacchettata per le masse ( anche nell’heavy
metal purtroppo è pieno) i Martiria rappresentano la voglia
di scrivere ancora con il cuore (...) (by Conte Ungol continue

People
who know me, know that I have been always pretty found of Martiria,
since the day of the release of their first Album, The
Eternal Soul , that's why I was waiting with such impatience
the day of their first live exhibition. I think that this band
is one of the most interesting epic metal band all over the world
and it doesn't matter if, yet, they aren't as famous as they would
deserve. For those who know how to look behind plastified covers
made for mass-consumption (yes, not even Heavy Metal escapes from
it...) Martiria incarnate the determination to write only music
coming from the heart (...) (by Conte Ungol continue here)
