alright now.
this is killed by memories,
from vernon NJ. straight
up brutal. i met these
guys about a year ago and
i got to see them live at the
same time. lots of fun, i was
doing flips and spinkicks
and even bruised my
elbow. these guys don't mess
around. catchy metal riffs
reminiscent of unearth with
breakdowns that could
tear down a building, and
even better, there all the
coolest people to hang
out with. the lyrics are
very thought provoking
and stick in the listeners
head even after you're
done listening to record,
as does the music but the
best part of this album is
definitely the breakdowns.
the recording was done at
clearcut studio in new jersey
and it sounds awesome.
these guys are real good at
what they do, and if you
like unearth, redline,on
broken wings, or cast from
Eden, check these guys out
they wont disappoint. 10
brutal songs of metalcore,
NJ style.
favorite track:
without you

Killed By Memories " Forever Doesn't Last " (Faction Zero Records) Reminds me of a more death metal ONE FOR ONE at times.. heavy mid/slow paced hardcore with some melody tossed in growling vocals done well enough to make this an ok cd.. fans of IRATE, SHATTERED REALM, 36 DEADLY FISTS will love this.. I'll give it 4 outta 5 windmills

Killed By Memories - Forever Doesn't Last - 2003 - Faction Zero Recordings
"Forever Doesn't Last" is the debut album for the five piece metalcore band from New Jersey. Basically, this album sounds like symphonic metalcore to me. Every track seems deliberate, very well structured and fluid. "Forever Doesn't Last" is a steady progression of metal meets screamo, that drifts occasionally into a hardcore style rock. Killed By Memories are incredibly agile with their instruments occasionally creating a calm in the storm of noise that pulls the listener back into the deluge. An altogether heavy album that makes you think twice about whether you really want to keep from going deaf when listening to the album. It's solid metalcore rock that pours through your speakers (or headphones in my case) and envelopes your sense until you are totally cut off from the light. Exceptionally great debut release that I find totally absorbing, it makes you drift away and forget all around you....it's actually quite hypnotizing! -MG

Forever Doesn't Last is the first release form Vernon NJ's Killed By Memories. Forever Doesn't Last offers a midway point between the NJ beatdown style and the intelligent expressiveness of screamo. Incorporating Iron Maiden like melody, with breakdowns that make you want to hurt people and smash things. Ha ha ha The lyrics are of an emotionally expressive nature, but have accessible meaning, instead of pretentious obscurity. Vocals are screamy, guitars are chunky, while drums and bass pound away. Fans of bands such as Atreyu, Killswitch Engage,Remembering Never, Eighteen Visions etc...or metalcore in general, will enjoy Forever Doesn't Last. Also, anyone who likes their music on the heavy side and is tired of the same formula based, generic stuff; this will be a refreshing break for you. Killed By Memories are heavy and real; get this CD, you will not be disappointed.
