A Call to the Martyrs is the debut album from the Christian deathcore band Mortal Treason.
Critical reception
Andrew Sinft from Jesus Freak Hideout writes: "All in all, A Call to the Martyrs is a solid album and is a must have for any fan of metal or hardcore. Highlights include "Khampa Nomads," "A Walk Thru the Woods," and "Feed on the Weak" (which has an amazing breakdown). The biggest disappointment is the fact that other than a short acoustic track, the album is only eight songs long. Like the band, the album is strong but could have lasted longer." Ben Lilford of Cross Rhythms rate the album eight out of ten, praising the lyricism and musicianship. The only downsides, according to Lilford, are the song titles and Kimbrough's spoken word sections.
