Memoriam is very, very, very early in its history, to the point that their Facebook page only showcases a few rehearsal photos but it’s beginning to build up some buzz, at least for its membership. Besides the aforementioned Karl Willets (of Bolt Thrower) and Andy Whale (also formerly of Bolt Thrower), the current lineup also features members of Benediction and Cerebral Fix. Bolt Thrower’s studio output withered after the 2000s due to bandmembers not being pleased with whatever they wrote after Those Once Loyal, so it’s worth noting that this could turn into a venue for part of the band to write and release more material. No guarantees of quality, though.

An important question that I don’t feel is appropriate to ask within the text of the article itself – who were Bolt Thrower’s main songwriters in their glory days?
The guitarists.
That’s a *ahem* *cough* superband I’ll be following!
Baz wrote the riffs, whale wrote the drum patterns karl & Gav wrote the lyrics.
