Martyrium Christi - We Will Kill... for You (2007)

   Probably in the most atheistic country of Europe not many have been shocked by the strongly anti-religious concept of Martyrium Christi, but unlike at most similar bands, their main goal was not even to shock the audience.
   The band existed since the early '90s, but they gave a "life sign" only after a long silent period. Their rude brutal death hammering was quite actual in the '00s, when countless bands showed up in this style, but Martyrium Christy preferred to stay at the old school roots, and they introduced their musical skills well by playing brutal death diverse without turning technical or progressive. "We Will Kill... for You" is a very intense album free of frippery and it's ongoing brutality is definitely not boring either. The band didn't approach Anti-Christianity by "narrating to the dark forces" or by showing themselves evil, only flashed on the mass manipulating role of the Church, and criticized as it becomes the tool of politics in the race for power and assisting to oppression. What a paradox is when those who are once preaching about love and peace, later blessing the weapons of war in the name of God? The lyrics are not focusing only on the past sins of mankind, but also forming an opinion about the demoralizing local political situation of the present.
