History
After a few lineup changes in 2001, the band recorded their first demo CD titled Until You Die. Drawing influence mainly from the American heavy/thrash scene, the band 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 guitarist James Murphy (Testament, Obituary, Death, etc.). The band also contributed songs to numerous compilation albums. In September 2003, [5] 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. [6] 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, Reduced to Ashes was released by EMI Greece in April 2006. After a five-year gap, the band re-entered the studio in 2011 with a new line-up featuring Ralph Santolla, Chris Valagao, Steve DiGiorgio, and Gene Hoglan to record their fourth full-length album Evolution , which was released in 2012. In the following year, Memorain, with a new lineup, released an eight-track album that included re-recordings of songs from their first two official albums called Digital Line and their seventh studio release Seven Sacrifices . [7] In September 2014, the band announced that they had compiled their eight studio album entitled Zero Hour. [8]
