Memento

Memento Mori (Anthology 1978-2018), is a 40th anniversary release charting the artist’s writing and recording career. It charts Adamson’s career from 1978’s Magazine track, “Parade” (co-written by Adamson, from their debut album Real Life); to his work as founding member, alongside Nick Cave, of the Bad Seeds (“From Her To Eternity,” co-written by Adamson); through his nine solo albums, from 1988’s Moss Side Story to the latest Love Sick Dick EPs, bringing everything up to date with a brand new unreleased track, “The Hummingbird.”

After the release of their digital „debut“ single „My Sweet Revenge“, sweden based project „Croona“ returns with their official studio debut album „Memento Mori“. But „Croona“ is not really a newbie to our music scene. As driving force and member of bands such as „Cynical Existence“, „Menschdefekt“ or „Project Rotten“, Frederik Croona aka „Croona“ delivers something you could easyly call a comeback album…

FEUERSCHWANZ are set to release their new album Memento Mori on December 31, 2021. The new album will continue the success story of the medieval rockers from Germany / Franconia! On Memento Mori, FEUERSCHWANZ finally take a step away from the simpler humor of earlier days to become one of the most important bands in German folk rock. Fans of the band can look forward to an extensive deluxe edition of the album, which extends the running time of Memento Mori by almost double! Two additional CDs feature instrumental versions of all eleven tracks as well as the cover CD Die Glorreichen Sieben (The Magnificent Seven), which includes seven epic reissues from Amon Amarth to Die Ärzte and The Weeknd.

Memento Mori (stylised as "Memento | Mori" on the album cover) is the fifteenth studio album by Depeche Mode, released on 24 March 2023, through Columbia and Mute. The album was produced by James Ford and Marta Salogni. It was preceded by the single "Ghosts Again" and the track "My Cosmos Is Mine" (released on streaming platforms), and is the first Depeche Mode studio album to be released after the death of co-founder and keyboardist Andy Fletcher on 26 May 2022. The album is promoted by the Memento Mori World Tour.

The album features two string quartets which thematically deal with the subject of death. Schubert’s Death and the Maiden, No. 14 in D Minor, a key piece in chamber music repertoire, dates from 1824. Mendelssohn’s String Quartet No. 6 in F Minor, Op. 80 was composed in 1847. He composed the piece as an homage to his beloved sister Fanny who had died on 17 May 1847 and it bore the title "Requiem for Fanny". vision string quartet have won awards in numerous competitions, have studied with members of the Artemis Quartet and the Alban Berg Quartet. They are known for their excellent interpretations AND for their innovative concert formats, working with choreographers, light designers, etc.

Visions of a November Spring, James MacMillan's First String Quartet, was completed in 1988 and already bears many a stylistic trait of the composer who was to create such a stir two years later with The Confession of Isobel Gowdie, not least a mastery of the singing line and the distinctive, 'keening' quality of the string writing itself. The work is cast in two movements, the much lengthier second of which perhaps doesn't quite add up to the sum of its impressive parts.

Sweden's Marduk returns for another reap of the grim on Memento Mori for Century Media. Requested by fate and realized by Morgan Håkansson (guitar), Daniel Rostén (vocals), and Simon Schilling (drums), Marduk’s 15th full-length was cast under the promised land of disease, famine, and calamity. Ten tracks of relentless, uncompromising, gritty and hard Swedish black metal!
