Memento Nostri started as a project between Alexia and Mark, experimenting with various styles of melodic metal. After working with a number of different people, Alexia then came up with the idea of writing a concept album based on the 1565 Great Siege of Malta. The line-up eventually settled with Michael and Charlie on vocals and bass.
The members made vast research into the siege, drawn ever more into the compelling epic history of their motherland. At times, while poring over old texts and paintings at the National Library, the band felt they where transported back to the 16th Century and tried hard to envisage what our forefathers had to endure. Enthralled by the courage of a few thousands against 'the mightiest Armada ever assembled' by the Ottoman Sultan, Suleiman the Magnificent, the band set feverishly to work on this original project. While keeping traditional metal roots but adding more ambience, Memento Nostri are aspiring to create a melodic, immaginative, lyrical and romantic medieval folkloristic masterpiece.
In August 2006, after much hard work, the band launched their first single to much critical acclaim. To Memento Nostri's extreme pleasure 'Decimation at the Gates - The Battle of Santa Margerita' was not only appreciated by the Metal community but the rich orchestrations appealed to a much wider audience. Encouraged by these comments the band wanted to get quickly to work on more material but most of the band's equipment was stolen shortly after the release of the track halting their progress.
Raphael joined the band on guitars soon after rehearsals could be restarted but serious illness for Charlie forced him to leave the band twice. While the band looked for a replacement, Jade joined the band on keyboards but as soon as the momentum was once again picking up power problems in the rehearsal room stopped the work again. Just as power was restored the band where dealt a devastating blow. On the 6th November 2008 Jade tragically passed away at a very tender age. While still attempting to recover from this enourmous shock there followed the rapid deterioration of Mark's health which also ended up in his hospitalisation in critical condition.
Following his recovery the band got back to work once again and where very pleased when Charlie announced he could return to the band once more. Memento Nostri are once again back on track and shall be releasing some fresh material soon.
DISASTERHATE FIRST EP “SACRIFICE TO ECLIPSE” OUT NOW ON DIGITAL STORES.
A modern thrash metal, a personal sick and obscure sound. “Sacrifice to eclipse” finds its roots into flesh, the solid human dimension of existence. A desperate agony in self-destruction, black and apocalyptic tones. This first EP destroys everything, annihilates existence, tears every religious value and trust for progress of science... to see what's left of mankind. The sacrifice to eclipse is just what man wants to hide.
