Hammerheart Records has a very long tradition in releasing Heathen ambient music (remember Hagalaz’Runedance) and when we heard the album by Martyria we decided to do a co-operation with the band and release this haunting recording on vinyl only. With its great textural depth, sepulchral atmospheres, and exotic, richly detailed ritualistic passages, the stunning, self-titled debut from the Greek male/female duo Martyria signifies the arrival of a vital new entry into the world of ritual/dark ambience. For fans of Shibalba, Caul, Herbst9, Funerary Call, and Voice of Eye.
