‘Infinity Land’ was released back in 2004 and features the tracks ‘Glitter And Trauma’, ‘My Recovery Injection’, ‘Only One Word Comes To Mind’ and ‘There’s No Such Thing As A Jaggy Snake’.
Following the news of his death, Martin was described as “one of the loudest champions” of Biffy by their tour manager Neil Anderson. Writing on Twitter, the band said: “Rest in peace, Dan Martin. Thank you for everything. We’ll miss you, brother.”
Meanwhile, Biffy Clyro have announced their intimate ‘Fingers Crossed’ UK tour for 2021. Shows are scheduled to take place in Liverpool, London, Cambridge, Sheffield, Southampton and Bristol next April.
While the dates are not intended to replace their arena tour, the group said the short run of performances would give them “the best chance” to play for fans next year amid the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the coronavirus crisis.
