Martyr Sanctum are a band from Fort Myers, Florida that plays a symphonic and blackened form of deathcore and this is a review of their self released 2025 ep "He Who Greets With Fire".
Symphonic sounding synths start off the ep which also captures the atmosphere of a horror soundtrack and mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing while the mid tempo sections of the songs are also very heavily rooted in deathcore and all of the tracks are also instrumentals.
When the music speeds up a great amount of brutal blast beats can be heard while the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style. Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with the tremolo picking in the riffing also adding in elements of black metal, clean playing can also be heard briefly.
Martyr Sanctum plays a musical style that takes a symphonic form of black metal and mixes it with deathcore to create a sound of their own as well as keeping everything instrumental while the production sounds very professional.
In my opinion Martyr Sanctum are a very great sounding instrumental and symphonic deathcore band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Reclamation Of A Fragmented Legacy" and "The City Leveled, Salm's Lot". 8 out of 10.
