Memorain was formed in early
1999 by Ilias Papadakis. After a few line-up changes in 2001 the band recorded their first demo cd titled "Until You Die". Drawing influence mainly from the American Heavy - Thrash scene, the Memorain guys 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
the legendary guitarist James Murphy |
(Testament, Obituary, Death, etc) . The band also contributed songs to numerous compilation albums. |
In September 2003 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.
In September 2005 Memorain signed an exclusive contract with
EMI Music Greece and two months |
 |
