This was the last album also a compilation of Morning Again's classic releases, 'Hand of Hope', and 'Martyr' recorded together with a live set from Europe. Released under Eulogy Records in May 2002, consist of 19 tracks of good comprehensive analysis of '90s metalcore. Thick and crushing guitars slam your head off the pavement, Slayer-esque riffing (minus the obnoxious King/Hanneman soloing), throbbing breakdowns that churn out intertwined guitar chugging speared by tight, breakneck chokes, hypnotic drumming, brooding acoustic passages fastened to dense guitar distortion, and the main man, Kevin B. spewing out vegan-straightedge ideals.
All in all, "Hand Of The Martyr" an extremely successful trip into the past and a worthy farewell to one of the most innovative, original and at the same time least known bands in the hardcore scene. Both musically and visually - the new artwork has been lovingly designed - makes this CD a lot, and should be on every hardcore fan of the shelves, where the originals have not decorate the plate rack.
