Martin Cox, a native Californian, was without a doubt one of the most influential people in the WP music movement and had been a solid supporter of the Orange County Punk Scene since he was 13 years old. Originally based out of Orange County, California the bands he had been the front man and member of include Extreme Hatred which formed on March 01, 1991, Hate Crime which soon followed, Youngland, Final War and White Knuckle Driver. The band's music sends out a positive image bringing pride and respect to the movement. With the diverse sounds of each band, its amazing to know he had played in them and at times, simultaneously.
Martin had been involved in the movement for more than 25 years and involved in playing music for around 20 years.
In a Blood and Honor interview, Martin is quoted as saying "What most people do not understand is that we are not driving around in limo's and getting millions of dollars off our records. We are working class stiffs, not rock stars. We are all doing this for the love of our people and race." Martin had always loved to play music and his passion rested with him knowing people was enjoying his writing and lyrics in his music. He was asked if he fears anything and is quoted replying was "I fear nothing!"
Extreme hatred had put out two albumbs the first of which was entitled "NOW IS THE TIME" and the second "HAVE A NICE DAY" of which was recorded under PANZERFAUST Records. The bands Martin had been a member of have toured all over the world throughout the many years performing live in concert for fans.
Martin Cox was in the final stages of heart failure, from which was suffering for years. He had been doing the best he could with great courage, managing his steady decline in health as the heart failure had set in. See you in Valhalla Martin Cox, a White Man to the End. Your Struggle, our Struggle - Forever!
