History
Formed in 1994 by brothers Daniel (guitar, vocals) and François Mongrain (bass), along with Pier-Luc Lampron (guitar) and François Richard (drums), Martyr recorded a demo tape in September 1995 titled Ostrogoth.[2][3] In September 1997, the drummer François Richard left the band being replaced by Patrice Hamelin, the full-length debut Hopeless Hopes was self-released in November that same year.[2]
Martyr independently released their second album, Warp Zone, in 2000.[4] Lampron had left the band and was replaced on the guitar by Martin Carbonneau.
In 2007 the band released an album, Feeding the Abscess.[5][6] In 2008 the band released a video, Havoc in Quebec City.[7]
Daniel Mongrain joined Voivod in 2008, under the nickname "Chewy".
Martyr went on hiatus in 2012 due to disagreements between band members. The band reformed in 2023 and will perform at the Trois-Rivières Metalfest in November 10, playing their second album Warp Zone in its entirety.[8]
