Short bio

Martin Simson’s Destroyer of Death is a melodic heavy metal project led by bassist and songwriter Martin Simson, featuring some of the most respected names in the genre. With powerful vocals, virtuosic guitars, and faith-driven lyrics, the band delivers high-energy metal with both heart and edge.

Long bio

Martin Simson is a long-time heavy metal fan and musician, who began writing music and lyrics in 2020, some of which caught the attention of guitar legend and friend, CJ Grimmark (Narnia, Jerusalem, Rob Rock, Empire 21).

The following year they released two singles: ’Destroyer of Death’ featuring Rob Rock (Impellitteri, Solo) on lead vocals and ’Master of All’ featuring Jørn Lande (MasterPlan, Solo) on vocals and Anders Johansson (Tungsten, Uli Jon Roth, ex-Yngwie Malmsteen, ex-Hammerfall) on drums.

These songs were very well received, and fans demanded more music, resulting in Martin beginning the process of a full album alongside his squire, CJ Grimmark and lead singer Rob Rock.

The debut album ’Eternal Reign’, released in 2023, contains 10 tracks, eight featuring Rob Rock on lead vocals, and two tracks featuring Jørn Lande on vocals. Other well-known musicians who participate, apart from those previously mentioned are, Rex Carroll (Whitecross) on guitar, Anders Köllerfors (All For the King, Narnia) on drums.

In February 2025, the single ‘Rescue Me’ was released. The third single features Roy Khan, lead vocalist for Conception, and formerly of Florida-based metal band Kamelot.
