MARTYRDÖD: Stereogum Now Streaming Elddop In Its Entirety

Stereogum today unveils Elddop, the fifth studio full-length from Swedish crust/metal masters, MARTYRDÖD, in its entirety, as the album comes within one week of its official release date.

With a lineup including members of Agrimonia, Miasmal, Skitsystem and more within its ranks, MARTYRDÖD has become a major force in the Swedish crust circuit through the years. Burning with fourteen anthems which show MARTYRDÖD taking their already honed, scathing craft to new levels of intensity through experimentation with vocal and songwriting styles, taking some incredibly unique paths, Elddop is undoubtedly this masterful act’s finest work yet. Alongside their exclusive stream of the entire album, Stereogum praises the album, stating that Elddop, “doesn’t merely improve on the band’s already incredible body of work; it distills Martyrdöd’s sound to its most exciting elements, leaving everything but the highlights on the cutting-room floor.” The critique continues: “…Elddop feels totally fresh and thrillingly new, yet employs only those tools fashioned in the ancient forges… I can’t imagine any generation of metal fan for whom Elddop would seem inappropriate – in many ways, it’s the very essence of metal.”

Southern Lord will release the CD and LP editions of Elddop in North America this Tuesday, July 22nd; preorders are posted HERE. A special European version of the LP will see release on La Familia and D-beat Raw Punk.
