Background notes
Archive material and source history
Martyr Defiled formed in Birmingham, England in 1998. Their early years involved the lineup of vocalist Alan Averill, guitarist Matt Barnes, bassist Jez Hindmarch, and drummer Kerrigan Wickett. They released their debut album 'In Shadows We Shall Reign' in 2003, followed by 'Descent into the Abyss' in 2006 and 'Hellfire Triumph' in 2012.
Their song 'An Act of Sedition' became particularly notable, with lyrics that drew attention for their confrontational tone. Other tracks like 'I: Zealot' and 'III: Collusion' featuring Jason Evans appeared in their catalog alongside 'Maelstrom' and 'Masochrist'.
The band's music maintained an aggressive style throughout these releases, though their lineup experienced changes over time.
