Memoriam Release New Album “Rise To Power”.
MEMORIAM release new album ‘Rise To Power’.
MEMORIAM need no introduction - they are living legends of Old School Death Metal and arguably the fastest and most creative band in the genre right now. Over the past seven years, the band has built up its own loyal fan base and developed its own musical identity.
The new album, RISE TO POWER, is now available in stores! Besides the essential death metal groove that MEMORIAM continuously deliver, they are also becoming more diverse with each song and are constantly adding new dynamics to their sound - from brutal grooves, to doomy melodic parts, to aggressive Nordic riffing, RISE TO POWER has become the band's most diverse album to date.
To celebrate, the band presents the official lyric video for the title-track, RISE TO POWER and states:
”So here we are with our fifth album release “Rise To Power”. For us it is a new level on our style and approach to the music and lyrics contained within it. New styles and moods weave in and out of each track and we have a great feeling of accomplishment on this release. As with all our previous album releases the messages contained lyrically are full of hope but also warnings. We do not preach but just hope that the listener can take something from the words and maybe think about the messages contained.As a famous quote says , “Those who forget the past are condemned to repeat it”. Memoriam hope you enjoy listening to “ Rise To Power” as much as we enjoyed making it. There are plenty of mood shifts from almost melodic to full on brutality so something for everyone! Memoriam 2023 ONWARDS.”
The album is available as a limited deluxe boxset, on colored vinyl, on CD and can be pre-ordered now here: www.reapermusic.de
Once more, the production by Russ Russell (NAPALM DEATH, DIMMU BORGIR, AT THE GATES, AMORPHIS, etc.) at Parlour Studios is rounding out the terrific songwriting and top-notch recording which comes across as charmingly "down to earth" but wonderfully differentiated to give every detail on RISE TO POWER its deserved space.
From the earliest days of the band, Dan Seagrave (Benediction, Dismember, Hypocrisy, Suffocation etc) is a steady accompaniment delivering the visuals to their music. Having created the artwork for the first four MEMORIAM albums, he once again provided his skill and talent to create the cover for RISE TO POWER.
