The Last Martyr are today announcing the release of the title track from their EP ‘Creatrix‘, out Friday April 26! The single’s lyrics rails against the thought of getting stuck in self-destructive or unsatisfying patterns in one’s life – and The Last Martyr are set to release the full EP next Friday.
Pre-Orders for the EP are live now. Creatrix will be live for purchase and streaming from this Friday April 19!
Vocalist Monica Strut explains the lyrical themes of the single. “Creatrix is about our innate ability to create our own reality. Many of us are stuck in old patterns or lives we’re not completely satisfied with. We believe we can’t do certain things or achieve certain goals but that’s all just a state of mind. Our beliefs dictate our behaviors and at the end of the day, beliefs are simply thoughts we’ve had over and over until they’re ingrained in our subconscious. Whether those thoughts are our own or have been expressed to us from someone else, who and where we are in our lives is a reflection of this. Creatrix is about consciously stepping into the person you want to be – even if that feels uncomfortable and like you’re faking it a bit – in order to change your thought patterns through action, achieve your goals and live life to the fullest.”
The Last Martyr recently debuted their live show at the gender-diverse festival UsFest, where Hysteria Mag said that they “…brought an infectious energy to the Girls Rock! stage for their first performance EVER. Swinging guitars, high jumps and headbanging anchored their set—and that was all it took the get the crowd moving. Good stuff.” They are following this with another debut performance, this time in Melbourne May 4th at Stay Gold, supporting Darkcell. Tickets are available HERE.
The Last Martyr’s previous singles ‘Into The Black’, ‘Stay Awake’ and ‘Fear’ saw the band achieve national radio play on triple j (Stay Awake on both The Racket and Home and Hosed) and rotation on The Faction. ‘Stay Awake’ also attracted the attention of Butcher Babies’ Heidi, who added them to her ‘Sisters That Slay’ playlist alongside the world’s best female voices in heavy music!
The ‘Creatrix’ EP will see its release on Friday April 26 2019 and is available for pre-ordernow. Single ‘Creatrix’ will be live for purchase and streaming Friday April 19. For more information about The Last Martyr, go to facebook.com/thelastmartyr.
