Albums Reflections on Martyrdom (Mid 2002)

Additional Info Reflections on Martyrdom is our first release. We chose to do a concept album due to our own desire to hear something interesting for a change. Industrial has become so verse-chorus-verse, and just a contest to see who can get more people onto the dancefloor. My own idea of enjoying music is when there is no one around, and you can let the music affect you in ways it can't when there are other people around to distract you. It should be meditative, a reflection. This album is a series of artificial memories for you to reflect on. A series of nightmares, dreams, and prophesies that relate to a certain element, that has been forgotten for years; and element that sits waiting under every dark corner, every misunderstood town, what drives normal people to extraordinary circumstance. As the songs pass a realization happens, and by the end it will be evident. A deep booming from below forces you to remember what you'd forced yourself to forget.
