Bio:

Memorain was formed in early 1999 by Ilias Papadakis. After a few line-up changes in 2001 the band recorded their first demo cd titled "Until You Die". Drawing influence mainly from the American Heavy/Thrash scene, the Memorain guys contributed a song for the "Voices Of Death Part 5"compilation album and a few months later they paid tribute to one of their favorite bands, Megadeth, recording a cover version of the song "Disconnect" for the album "Droogie-A Megadeth Tribute".In August 2002 the band signed a two-record deal with local label NMC Music and their first album "Digital Crimes" was released a couple of months later.In 2003 Memorain released their second album "White Line", featuring the legendary guitarist James Murphy (Testament, Obituary, Death, etc) . The band also contributed songs to numerous compilation albums.In September 2003 the band composed the music theme for Greece's premier metal TV show, "TV War", a TV show supported by the Greek Metal Hammer Magazine.In September 2005 Memorain signed an exclusive contract with EMI Music Greece and two months later the band started recording their new album "Reduced To Ashes" with Nick Menza (ex-Megadeth) on drums and Jeff Waters (Annihilator), as a special guest. Recorded partially in Los Angeles-California "Reduced To Ashes" is to be released by EMI Music Greece in 17th, April 2006.Nowadays Memorain with a new line up, that includes some of the most respected musicians in the Metal scene, is working on 12 new tracks for the upcoming album called “Evolution”. With the new album the band delivers old-school thrash metal with a modern touch. “Evolution” will satisfy the appetite of the diehard fans of Thrash Metal!

Album:

This act is the brainchild of the Greek guitar player Ilias Papadakis who uses sagaciously his connections within the metal circuit, and has invited quite a few of the metal celebrities to help him with the recordings of whole seven full-lengths up to this date (more on them later). In other words, the man doesn’t keep a steady line-up around, but summons whoever is available at the time from his acquaintances for the completion of the creative process.The debut was a passable mix of power and thrash with echoes of the 90’s works of Megadeth, above all, with both modern and classic tendencies “tussling” throughout. Said “tussle” carried on without any audible alterations on the sophomore, but on “Reduced to Ashes” things went up in nearly every department, not without the help of the drummer Nick Menza (Megadeth) and none other than Jeff Waters himself, the sound becoming more technical and marginally more aggressive, logically clinging towards the more recent exploits of Annihilator as well.The album reviewed here may be considered the guy’s finest hour, the super group this time comprising luminaries like Steve DiGiorgio, Gene Hoglan, and Ralph Santolla (Deicide, Obituary, Iced earth, etc.). With a stellar cast like that one can’t expect anything but the best, and the music by all means delivers now “courting” the old school canons almost exclusively, the Bay-Area the prime target for worship with vigorous headbangers like “Where Hate Lies” flying around. More speed on “The Break” which “winks” at the 90’s power/speed metal movement with soaring “eagle fly free” rhythms; and it’s even three in a row with “Circle”, a short lashing speed/thrasher. The headbanging fiesta knows no rest later with “Destiny Found”, a notable fast-pacer with cutting lashing riffage, and “New Era” causing a few headaches along the way being another brief exhibition of primal speed/thrashing aggression.The more technical character of the previous instalment hasn’t been paid much attention as the guys focus on the more immediate, bashing side, still producing positive results along the way. The vocals provided by the only relative unknown in the team, Chris Valagao (also Mechanism, Zimmers Hole, The Kill, etc.), are nothing short of outstanding the man covering a wide range of octaves, sounding quite dramatic and attached for most of the time in a way not far from Eric Adams (Manowar) even.Other stars were lined-up for the follow-up “Seven Sacrifices” (from Strapping Young Lad, Flotsam & Jetsam, Megadeth again (Dave Ellefson)), but this time the delivery was much less inspired Papadakis falling into a self-repetitive cycle, consisting of a not very edgy, feelgood power/thrash hybrid, akin to the one that has been plaguing Jeff Waters for quite some time; and one that was also witnessed on “Zero Hour” in all its banal “glory”. Fortunately, this one didn’t last very long as the spell was partly broken on “Duality of Man” which was a much more aggressive affair, Papadakis sounding pissed and non-conforming. No celebrities on the last two; the trip down retro power/thrash memory lane is over; now the real journey begins…
