In the summer of 2009, guitarists Paul Dontigney and Erik Spiller began collaborating on the idea of forming a metal band that drew upon their love of classic metal and horror movies. Though, unknowing of the direction they would take, they knew they wanted to bring metal back to it’s roots. Enlisting the aid of bass player Adam Fuchs and childhood friend Jimmy Funk (who would later leave the band after the release of Dead Body Dump Truck due to personal reasons), the four began working on what would become the first incarnation of the band Hung Like A Martyr. Known then as “Sons Of Arkham”, they began writing the material that would later become the Dead Body Dump Truck EP. After many unwanted line-up changes, Bruce Morrison stepped up to the vocal plate and the "Thor" of drums, Mark Nicol made the complete line-up as it exists today. Drawing upon the inspiration of bands like Metallica, Megadeth, Pantera, and White Zombie, and mixing newer influences like Lamb of God, Arch Enemy, and Fear Factory, they began to craft songs that were both fast and brutal with heavy grooves and melodic undertones.
