Memoriam

Memoriam was formed following the disbanding of Bolt Thrower, as that band broke up with the passing of their drummer Martin Kearns and these guys forming as a tribute to Kearns. Featuring two core Bolt Throwers as well as a pair from another venerable British death metal band in Benediction, Memoriam unsurprisingly carries on in a similar tradition, with enough nods to the past to loosely call this band the continuation of Bolt Thrower. The sound is a mostly mid-tempo straightforward death metal style (BT's onetime grindcore tendencies aren't here), with few nods to current trends. Three albums in to their career, the results are satisfying enough, especially for Bolt Thrower fans.
