Originally self-released in 1997, Hopeless Hopes changed the landscape of the technical Death Metal scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom the onset of Hopeless Hopes, MARTYR's penchant for creating intricate, meticulously written technical Death Metal is palpable. Tempo changes, melodic guitar leads, and dual harmonies are scattered throughout. Featuring band members aged between 17 and 23 at the time, Hopeless Hopes shines with creativity and exploration. It's no wonder that members here went on to play in other Canadian landmark bands such as Voivod, Gorguts, Despised Icon, and many more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGuitarists Daniel Mongrain and Pier-Luc Lampron present a tight and vicious guitar tandem. They inject loads of variation and subtleties in their riffs, moving from blistering speed attacks to mid-paced standard crunching effectively, giving the album great dynamics. Bassist Francois Mongrain shreds underneath it all. Drummer Francois Richard accompanies the band perfectly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAvailable on CD and vinyl for the first time in over 10 years, the classic debut is fully remixed and remastered.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"hidden\"\u003eThis item is available for pre-order.
