Tears of Martyr

Tears of Martyr is a Symphonic Metal band born in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (Canary Islands, Spain) in the mid 90's. The band was initially very influenced by Death and Doom Metal, and with the inclusion of piano arrangements and a female lyric voice the band started to achieve a more personal sound, where metal entwines with classical music. In 1996 they released their first demo titled "The Essence of Evil" which received very good reviews and helped the band to build solid foundations to develop the concept of ToM from that time forth. After numerous comings and goings of some band members due to the always tough local metal scene, ToM recorded their second demo "Renascence" in 2005, where they precisely show the path chosen for their compositions. The result of many years of work within the metal scene in the Canary Islands is translated into a big amount of shows with Top Metal Bands such as Dark Tranquility, To/Die/For or Swallow the Sun, just to mention a few. In January 2007 the band decides to move to Madrid with the idea of spreading the word about ToM (they opened for Draconian in their first show ever in Spain in 2008). June 2009 their first full-length debut "Entrance" is ready, which was recorded with producer Alberto Seara at Estudios Cube.
