MEMORIST - so named due to frontman Jon's inability to forget - are a six-piece alternative metal outfit from South West England, UK that craft powerful emotional journeys for the listener, through Jon's personal experiences and perceived injustices. Layered in satisfying atmospheric textures and driving choruses, MEMORIST are experts in creating tension only to explode into a salvo of memorable melodies and lyrics to identify with. Influenced by the likes of Deftones, Northlane and Hans Zimmer, their lead single "THE EMPIRIC" is a calling card to the industrial, synthesiser-laced sound that they have strived to achieve since the roaring success of their initial three singles. Having already garnered a wealth of recognition from fans, industry and contemporaries alike, MEMORIST have enjoyed the position of "Featured Artist of the Week" on Alex Baker's Fresh Blood show on Kerrang! Radio along with numerous plays of their three initial singles by the presenter, have featured on live streams from Tesseract's Dan Tompkins and Fit For a King's Ryan Kirby, placement on Spotify's "UK Metal" curated playlist, a total of over 1 million combined YouTube views across their only three music videos, and approximately 1.2 million streams on Spotify alone (with a regular monthly listenership of over 20,000 active fans). The band have signed to upcoming UK based label Year Of The Rat Records and release their first single ‘The Empiric’ on the 9th July 2021.
