In the third member change in almost as many months, Euan Lees has decided to step down as the bass player for Martyr Defiled due to both personal and musical reasons. We're all really sorry that Euan has decided to leave, and we wish him the best in his new band NIGHTMARES!

If anyone wants to try out, give us a shout through email or message on myspace - but the new stuff is MUCH more difficult to play than the older songs, so serious applicants must record a video of them playing one new song and one old song, we'll provide the tabs!

We're very sorry to announce that we won't be able to play the Glasgow date of the All Shall Perish tour this week, due to a very unfortunate accident that lead to our drummer fracturing his hand - however, we have every intention of continuing the tour from the Manchester date tomorrow.

Thanks to everyone who came down to the London and Colchester show!

In the second lineup change in as many weeks, we're very sorry to announce that Dave Hinman is no longer a part of Martyr Defiled.

We will be looking for a new guitarist over the next 2 months - we're not cancelling any shows between now and July, apart from the 23rd May which we have already had to cancel due to Richard Duffins departure.

If any guitarists want to audition for the position, please can you upload a video of you playing the lead parts from Barren and Flawless and message us with the link! The tabs are online here

Richard Duffin has decided to step aside as the Martyr Defiled drummer, due to personal reasons.

Its a great shame that we have had to split with Duff, as he's been our best friend for over a year a half - we're all gutted that he decided to stand down as our drummer but we respect his decision and there is absolutely no bad feeling from anyone.

We're NOT cancelling any of our upcoming shows apart from the 23rd May @ Club 85 in Hitchin - we're taking some time out in May to recuperate and to audition new drummers. In the mean time, our good friend Luca Rollini (Millicent Grove) will be filling in.

If any drummers want to audition, please upload a video of yourself playing Netherwitch (we can give you a download link on request, or just get it off some blogspot or something), and we'll take it from there.
