Reviews...
"Let me start off by saying that i absolutely love your music. It reminds me of so many different bands without giving me the idea that you are being a copycat. Some of the bands i think of are [early] Mad at the World, Resurrection Eve and Joy Division"... -Balaam's Miracle, Netherlands-
"If I were to compare to other music I've heard, I would say it's Mark Lane meets Joy Division. But then again it doesn't even sound like that"... -Jósef K, Iceland-
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
A brief history...
It was a dimming 1989 as Matthew B. revived the blaze of synths and samplers from a tragically vanishing era. A decade submerged in performance under shadowing projects, 2002 brought surface to Martyrs for Passion, and electronic reverie to the darkness of advancing technology. 'Out with the new and in with a new-old' soon became the quest for the affection seeking masquerade. Stemming from the impact of misery and romance in the atmosphere of art and musical revolution of the 1980s, time has yet to reveal the cultural revolt of the independent in the modern space-age. Futurists and the medieval find themselves joined of passion for Matthews abstract dreams and revel at the conceptual sentiment of a ‘non-modern’ horizon. Devoted to a legacy of musical inspiration, MFP builds the foundation of a chapter yet written, and discovery of life, in the fearsome reality of pain. Electronic made music has always been the heart of MFP, drawing on life experiences, and uncommon equipment to shape its sound. Recognizing fellow artists as Depeche Mode and Thomas Dolby, it is inspiration of such instruments that has fueled pioneering. Pioneers in a new age themselves, MFP strives to dig deeper into this vein and into the hearts of its fans. The world may fall all around, but the crusade is alive...
