Cinemartyr (originally called OST) was formed in Limerick, Ireland by composer Shane Harrington in 2012, before relocating to New York shortly afterwards. To date, Cinemartyr has released four diverse-sounding albums. Invisible Ink For Sketching Ghosts, a sombre experimental rock album, was released in February 2012, followed by Dreams During Hibernation in 2015. Cinemartyr's 3rd album, Uncaused, took on a more indie/folk approach and was released in 2016. Lastly came Suffer New York Love, an album of ambient and noise experimentation in 2017. The current lineup includes Shane Harrington (vocals, guitars), Amber Moon Voltson (vocals, guitars), Aaron CT (bass), and David Goldman (drums).

"Death Of The First Person is, for me, a sort of pouring forth of what can’t be said in daily conversation. An attempt to reckon with personal history and integrate it. Previous Cinemartyr output dealt with the more morose and contemplative side of mental health. This new album is an intentional step away from all that towards a more expressive, a more loud, a more physical chant or scream."
- Shane Harrington, vocalist of Cinemartyr, for New Noise Magazine

"Cinemartyr’s latest nods to a variety of experimental rock heavies, including Fugazi, Arab on Radar, Death Grips, and the like, although primary composer Shane Harrington cites the band’s main current musical inspiration as more soundtrack-based, specifically mentioning the work of Ryuichi Sakamoto and Johann Johannsson as examples."
- Ghettoblaster Magazine

"Cinemartyr is the weirdo punk-metal band that makes fractured, berserk music that is artsy, but also, shall we say, BRUTAL AS HELL."
