Memorain is a Greek thrash metal band, formed by guitarist/vocalist Ilias Papadakis in 1999.[4]

History

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 Music 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, Reduced to Ashes was released by EMI Greece in April 2006. After a five-year gap, the band re-entered the studio in 2011 with a new line-up featuring Ralph Santolla, Chris Valagao, Steve Di Giorgio, and Gene Hoglan to record their fourth full-length album Evolution, which was released in 2012. In the following year, Memorain, with a new lineup, released an eight-track album that included re-recordings of songs from their first two official albums called Digital Line and their seventh studio release Seven Sacrifices.[7] In September 2014, the band announced that they had compiled their eight studio album entitled Zero Hour.[8]
