Memoriam (ex-Bolt Thrower) have commenced the recording process for their fourth studio album “To The End“. The outing will feature contributions from their latest lineup addition, drummer, Spike T Smith. The recording sessions are taking place at Parlour Studios in Kettering, UK with Russ Russell (Napalm Death, At The Gates) handling the production duties. The group said of the effort:
“Andy [Whale] has had to step down from the drum stool permanently due to a long term shoulder injury that is just not getting better whilst playing drums. He did not take the decision lightly and tried to carry on but it affected him so badly playing that he had no choice but to retire from playing for the foreseeable future.
Bringing Spike into the fold reunites the rhythm section of Sacrilege. Frank and Spike have worked on and off together since the mid eighties so he fits in very well with Memoriam. The album will showcase his immense drumming skills and he brings in a whole new dynamic to the bands sound. We cannot wait for you to hear him on the finished album.”
A tentative March release date is being eyed for the outing.
