Martyr AD is now "back," as they have finally found a permanent drummer and singer. Earlier this summer we told you that Karl Hensel, drummer for now-defunct Minneapolis hardcore band Holding On, had joined the Martyr AD roster. Now, in addition to Hensel, Holding On vocalist Andrew Hart, who had been helping Martyr AD out on vocals as of late, has officially joined the group on vocals. According to the band, the lineup is now "solid as a fucking rock." Late this fall, the group will enter the studio to record their Victory Records debut, which has been entitled "On Earth As It Is In Hell" and should hit stores in spring of 2004. The group has plans to tour extensively in support of the record.
