Betraying The Martyrs announce break up and release final music video

French metalcore act Betraying The Martyrs has released a music video for their two newly released singles, "Irae" and "The Veil" which come from their EP, Godspeed. Unfortunately, the video accompanies the news that the band is breaking up, citing the "world economy" and "cost of touring" as one of the reasons for disbanding. 

A message included with the video release is below:

Betraying The Martyrs have decided to part ways.

After a 15 year long and successful career that has seen the French band perform over 990 concerts throughout the whole world, BTM have decided to call it a day.

As we've always been, we'd like to remain transparent with you guys, to those who have supported us for all these years and through so many events.

Today's world's economical situation, and never ending increases in touring costs (during & right after Covid) took a massive toll on all of us, financially but also individually (physically and mentally) and we simply came to the conclusion that we don't have the strength to move forward together anymore. 

Over the past months, we have been struggling to function as a band, to make consensual, unanimous decisions and to be able to all look in the same direction. 

That being said, it is with a many emotions and a very heavy heart that we would like to present to you our very last piece, a beautiful 7 minute-long music video that took immense effort in the making. A farewell gift for you all to enjoy.

Watch and share the band's final offering « The Veil » - OUT NOW everywhere and on all platforms.

We would like to thank every single one of you for all those beautiful years spent together, we will cherish these memories for the rest of our lives.

With Love,
ВТМ.

Since 2008, over the course of 15 years, the band has released multiple full-length albums via Sumerian Records and in 2021, released the EP, Silver Lining, through Out of Line Music.
