Memento Mori  

With ex-Candlemass frontman Messiah Marcolin supplying the vocals, one would expect Memento Mori to have at least a passing resemblance to Candlemass, and sure enough they do, though in general Mememto Mori is somewhat more power metal and less doom. Also not surprisingly, the one non-Messiah album, La Danse Macabre, is the least doomy of their albums. As shown below, the band had many ties to other Swedish power/doom metal bands of the day.

Current Members Messiah Marcolin vocals (Candlemass, Mercy) Mike Wead (Mikael Wikström) guitars (Abstrakt Algebra, Hexenhaus, King Diamond, Maninnya Blade, Mercyful Fate) Nikkey Argento guitars Marty Marteen bass (Fifth Reason, Hexenhaus) Tom Björn (Tom Johansson) drums (Memory Garden, Nightingale)

Former Members/Guests Kristian Andren vocals (Fifth Reason, Tad Morose) Miguel Robaina keyboards Snowy Shaw (Tommy Helgesson) drums (Dimmu Borgir, Dream Evil, Illwill, King Diamond, Mercyful Fate, Notre Dame) Billy St. John drums
