Feeding The Abscess (Reissue)
Martyr
Martyr’s Feeding the Abscess (Reissue) restores the Quebec technical-death-metal group’s third and final full-length album, originally issued in 2006. The 2026 Relapse Records edition revisits the album with a new mix by Francis Perron, made with input from guitarists Daniel and François Mongrain, and a remaster by Maor Applebaum. Its 12 tracks are presented with greater clarity and impact, returning a cult favorite to physical formats after a long absence.
Musically, Feeding the Abscess is a dense, disciplined blend of technical death metal and progressive extremity. Songs including “Perpetual Healing (Infinite Pain),” “Lost in Sanity,” “Nameless, Faceless, Neverborn,” and the four-part “Dead Horizon” suite combine rapid-fire riffing, shifting tempos, complex rhythmic patterns, dissonant accents, and virtuosic guitar work. Rather than relying solely on speed or aggression, Martyr builds intricate compositions that reward close listening, making the record a demanding but highly expressive example of Canadian progressive death metal.
