Burning The Oppressor release new music video for ‘Martyrize’

BURNING THE OPPRESSOR have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Martyrize, is taken from the Canadian death metal band’s upcoming new album, Damnation, which is scheduled to be released next Friday.

Speaking about the new song, the band says, “Martyrize was written, a few years ago, in a surge of anger and incomprehension after news broke out of abuse suffered by a seven-year-old girl at the hands of her father and stepmother in the eastern townships, Quebec. The circumstances of her death sent a shock wave through Canada and authorities ordered a public inquiry to shed light on how child protective services could have failed so miserably, in this particular case, even though they were apprised of the situation well before her death.

During the last year, the number of cases of infanticide and feminicide have also, unfortunately, been on the rise; no doubt emphasized by the current pandemic. Reports of domestic violence have sky rocketed in the past year and a half, we felt it was important for us to try and bring attention to these tragic situations without romanticizing the suffering of their victims.”

Damnation is set for release on October 29th via Candlelight Records. Pre-orders are available now and can be purchased here.
