Birmingham’s MEMORIAM will be headlining Annihilation Fest 2017. The fourth edition of this one day festival is scheduled for the 20th of May and situated at Southampton’s Talking Heads venue.
Also playing will be Dutch heavy instrumentalists Tank86, U.K. based Snuff Grind troupe Basement Torture Killings, and London’s heavy metal four piece Kill For Company. Many more acts are due to be announced in due course.
Memoriam is also currently gearing up for the release of new full-length record “For The Fallen” on March 24th, 2017 via Nuclear Blast. The album’s artwork was created by Dan Seagrave and a teaser trailer is available HERE.
MEMORIAM was primarily developed to fill the void that was left following the tragic death of Martin “Kiddie” Kearns, the drummer from BOLT THROWER, back in September 2015.
BOLT THROWER subsequently placed all activity on hold for the foreseeable future which gave Karl Willetts an opportunity to develop a new project with friends that had expressed interest in forming a band for some time.
MEMORIAM are an old-school death metal band, maintaining the high standards set by their previous bands, focusing on the themes of death, loss and war. Initially the band members got together to play covers of songs that had influenced them throughout their careers within the death metal scene, however it soon became apparent that the new songs that they created were of a superior standard.
