About:
Martriden are an all-American nightmare producing blackened death metal with progressive and symphonic highlights that sound straight from the depths of hell. Established in 2005 in their home state of Montana, USA and now residing in Denver, CO. The band’s name is derived from the Scandinavian word “Maradraum” meaning nightmare. The name is also associated with various folklore of a malignant female wraith who causes what is now known as sleep paralysis.
Their sinister arrangement of black and death metal is influenced by their European counterparts while maintaining distinctly, unapologetic American style. The band draws inspiration from greats like Opeth, Behemoth, and Bloodbath, while crafting their own symphonic elements. Martriden are known for writing soaring tracks courtesy of Shane Howard writing thick guitar riffs paired with his brother Kyle’s keyboard and acid gargling vocals. Will Thackeray wraps up each song tightly around his dark guitar riffs for the perfect balance of melody and heaviness. Shane currently records and engineers albums in his Sawn and Quartered Studio and does recording collaborations with Dave Otero at Denver’s Flatline Audio Studios.  He has been involved in the recordings of Wayfarer, Satan’s Host, Khemmis, and the last two Cattle Decapitation recordings.
Following successful US tour dates with the mighty EMPEROR, as well as the release of their 2010 ‘Encounter The Monolith’, 2007’s ‘The Unsettling Dark’ via Candlelight Records and 2006’s self-titled EP via SOAR, the band has released their most anticipated album to date: “Cold And The Silence” on November 28th, 2015. Their release is a seven track, full-length album, which compromises nothing in terms of production and depth of story. The album deals with life in general with each song telling a story and themes about the insignificance of human life compared to the vast entirety of the universe.

the album is a force to be reckoned with. The power coming thru is potent and intense. The long soundscapes keep the listener captive from moment to moment. This is an album worth much exploration and you should lend your ears to it.

0 Thy Demons Be Scribblin – Martriden – Cold And Silence

  • February 11, 2016
  • by Asher
  • · Martriden

Each of the tracks on display in Cold and Silence are pleasingly ambitious sporting complex and intriguing melodies all accompanied by a distinct harsh vocal style (more often found in melodic death or black metal releases) as well as a cleaner more traditional style to add depth and emotion. Progressive passages lead the listener on a journey, a soundscape one might not expect in this genre, a tapestry of experiences within multi-faceted musical capsules that far surpass anything a yet unsigned act usually offer…Overall an album I am very pleased to have asked to review and a release that any fan will and can appreciate. Expect this to be stuck in your media/CD player for this is a treasure to experience.

Martriden – Cold And The Silence (2015)

Release Date: November 28, 2015

For fans of Dissection, Enslaved, Opeth, In Flames, Mastodon, Gojira, Morbid Angel, Decapitated

Bandcamp | iTunes | Amazon | Google Play | CD Baby

“Despite the five year gap between releases, though (including the departure of the band’s long-time main vocalist Michael Cook), Cold and the Silence still feels like a direct continuation/expansion of the darkly progressive, defiantly blackened vibes embodied on 2010’s Encounter the Monolith, albeit one which (if the artwork didn’t already clue you in) takes some significant steps in a more overtly prog-tinged and enigmatically indulgent direction than ever before.” – No Clean Singing
“the return of the perpetually under-rated Martriden holds high everything that the band has accomplished to date and continues them forward in their evolution. The blackened death backbone is ever-present, but with even more experimentation and progressive tones to cast the band into a league of their own.” – Dead Rhetoric
 
“Martriden excels at blasting death metal, but ferocity is just one weapon in its arsenal.  Acoustic instruments beautify “Ascension Part 2” and the graceful, Opeth-like finale to “A Season in Hell,” – Prefix Mag
 
“Martriden’s greatest strength is the impeccable craft of its arrangements” – Prefix Mag
 
“With The Unsettling Dark, Martriden have created a surprisingly memorable extreme metal album, and have established themselves as a force within the genre” – Teeth of The Divine
 
“Montana’s Martriden is one of the most impressive new metal bands you will hear. Combining a mix of extreme, doom and progressive, the band’s self-titled EP is a nice appetizer” – Live Metal
 
“Whether it’s the solemn resignation evident in the clean-sung refrain of “The Grey” or the mournful melodic passages present in grandiose closer “Consequence”, each of these sections serves to add yet another impressive string to the band’s bow.” – No Clean Singing
 
“A debut EP that is testament to all that is visionary, powerful and exciting about extreme metal” – Kerrang! 
 
“Martriden’s impressive debut EP is firmly in the mainstream tradition of the best Scandinavian bands from Bathory onwards.”  – Metal Hammer
