Info:
Holy Martyr's style is so far and different from the New European Power Metal Scene of the 90's...the music played is a derivation from the classic metal of bands like Iron Maiden and Judas Priest, the impetuosity of the Bay Area Speed/Thrash Metal of (early) Metallica and Agent Steel and the deep Epic veins of Manilla Road, Warlord, Omen and the catchy attitude of bands like Heavy Load and Attack.

In the first days of 2004 the band has released another self produced/Financed work ‘Hail To Hellas’. This work is a mini concept inspired from the ‘Battle Of Termophiles’ (Ancient Hellas 480 BC).
[anyone interested in the battle of Thermopylae should check of Hail to Hellas as well as Steven Pressfield novel 'Gates of Fire' - justin]
