Background information about 'War Rages On / Artefact'

MEMORIAM delivers a relentless assault on the senses with War Rages On / Artefact, a compilation that serves as both a retrospective and a declaration of war against complacency in modern death metal. This release gathers the band’s most visceral tracks, blending technical precision with raw, unadulterated aggression. The album opens with the title track, War Rages On, a crushing anthem that sets the tone for the brutal journey ahead. Tracks like Resistance and Drone Strike showcase the band’s ability to weave intricate guitar work with thunderous rhythms, creating a soundscape that is both chaotic and meticulously controlled.

The inclusion of original demo versions adds a fascinating layer to the listening experience. War Rages On (Original demo version, instrumental 2016) and Drone Strike (Original demo version, instrumental 2016) offer a glimpse into the band’s creative process, stripping away the vocals to highlight the sheer power of the instrumentation. The slow-burning intensity of Drone Strike V2 and the live studio jam energy of Prisoners Of War further demonstrate the band’s versatility and commitment to their craft. This is not just a collection of songs; it is a testament to MEMORIAM’s enduring presence in the death metal scene, appealing to fans of bands like CANNIBAL CORPSE, SLAUGHTER, and DEICED who crave uncompromising heaviness and technical mastery.

For fans of:
CANNIBAL CORPSE, SLAUGHTER, DEICED, DEATH, MORBID ANGEL
