Memorain is a Greek heavy metal band, formed by guitarist/vocalist Ilias Papadakis in 1999. [4]
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 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" was released by EMI Music Greece on 17 April 2006. After a 5-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 its fourth full-length album called " Evolution", which was released in 2012. In the following year, Memorain with a new lineup, released an 8-track album that included re-recordings of songs from their first two official albums called "Digital line" and their sevenths studio release called "Seven Sacrifices". [7] In September 2014 the band announced that they had compiled their eight studio album entitled "Zero Hour". [8]
