Style
MATHYR plays a dynamic and almost avantgarde style of Black/Death Metal alternating raw and boisterous parts with more melodic and even atmospheric BM passages and well-placed neck-breaking mid-tempo parts as well. A rather personal style that is difficult to compare to any actual bands and could be described as an energetic blend of old school German Thrash and cold Black/Death, or a hybrid of Slayer, Mayhem and Satyricon.
History
MATHYR was founded in 2000 by Sagrim and Phlegiaz who had already played together in various bands before. Short time later Chris (b, voc) joined the band and contributed his share to form the music and appearance of MATHYR decisively. This core-ensemble plus another guitarist who had to leave the band because of personal reasons. Later on he was replaced by Thorson in 2003. MATHYR performed numerous gigs for example with
Mayhem, Watain, Dark Funeral, Belphegor and many more.
According to Sagrim, the birth of MATHYR can be explained by the requirement of creating a medium that enables the men behind to present and illustrate their own points of view. The music of MATHYR clearly shows to which level of persistence and directness this aim is pursued. No matter whether you listen to their recordings or see them on stage: the listener only gets little short breaks to take a breath before he drags into a maelstrom of Black and Death Metal again. Up to now MATHYR already released 4 recordings from which especially the 3rd one "Mathyr" has to be pointed out.
This one delighted audiences and press in the same way, left its mark and finally prepared the ground for a deal with Animate-Records.
In 2004 MATHYR released their highly publicized album “Mandraenken” in cooperation with Animate-Records. According to the press, the release set signs in the metalscene and caught up to eminently respected genre bands. The resultant success was thwarted in 2005, as Chris quit the band. He left a deep gap in the band structure but in spite of this hit or even thus, they started writing the most extreme MATHYR songs, which required higher instrumental skills. To reach this goal, Thorson had to leave the band.
Instead of him, Mountheist joined the band, the best man on this position by then. Soon after his engagement he became an indispensable backing in the monument of MATHYR. During the recordings, which demanded every bit of energy from each member, Phlegiaz retreated from the band and from the metalscene and finally left MATHYR in summer 2007. In his own words, he is going to orientate himself in a completely different musical way and will turn his back on the metal scene. Mountheist and Sagrim brought the recordings of “Kryos” to an end and will challenge the future with a constant live line up.
Chris regains his position on bass and growls. In february 2008 drummer Greiv joined MATHYR. To complete the lineup, bassplayer mantys joined in january 2009. He now belongs to the current line up of the band.

Richtig Leute da habt ihr Recht mit den Downloads ... aber auf der anderen Seite gabs früher auch Kassenkopieren etc. ;) - Allerdings sinkt der Wert für Musik, wenn man sie nur runterläd, anstatt die CD in den Händen zu halten; so seh ich zumindest die Sache. Hung(er) // NORTHSTORM
