Finnish poetic extreme metal act MARTO is back with new a single and video for “Nihil” along with B-side track “Kaos“. The title track can be viewed via Rockhopper Music’s official YouTube channel.

Marto was formed in 2021 by four members of the Finnish post-metal band Atlases. The idea behind the band is to combine hard-hitting extreme music, quality production and melancholic Finnish poems. “Nihil” is a step off from grindish territory, and it showcases a slower and more melancholic side of the band.

“Nihil” and “Kaos” will not be featured on the forthcoming album to be released via Rockhopper Music next year. The band’s debut EP “Sine Nomine” was released in December 2021.

Finnish poetic core act MARTO have released a lyric video for Solus, which is taken from the upcoming Sine Nomine EP. The video can be viewed via Rockhopper Music YouTube channel HERE.

Hailing from Pori, Finland, Marto was formed at rehearsals by four members of post-metal band atlases (signed to Lifeforce Records) less than a year ago. After spending years playing atmospheric metal, the members decided to do something different and started to create music that blends extreme grindish elements with different shades of metal. Instead of writing about guts and skeletons, which are commonly used in this kind of music, the band decided to use Finnish poetry in their lyrics.

Soon after writing the material to Sine Nomine EP, the band was signed to Rockhopper Music, a label that had been on a hiatus for a decade.
