Has been reviewed as a modern sounding Yes or Genesis, with heavy guitars and electronic beats.
Formed 1996 by Martin Svennberg and Philip Husberg in Jönköping, Sweden.
When the two originally very different views of music came together, the symbiosis of pROmEMORIA was born. Only one rule is applied on the creative work: let go of limitations, let the song tell you whats right or wrong in itself. Its this foundation that still feeds the growth and the multitude in the group.
In the summer of 1997 Tom Lövby joined to play guitar, and this added an extra finesse and width to the pm sound.
In the fall of 1999 Mattias Bergström joined to do the lyrical and vocal works. You can experience the full blend and the feelings of pROmEMORIA in the selftitled full-length album. It was completed in dec 2000, and can be bought at iTunes, Rhapsody, Napster and Sony Connect.
In december of 2002 Mattias Bergström and pROmEMORIA went separate ways, and in april 2005 Stefan Lindgren joined as new lead singer. Later that fall Jonas Ekestubbe joined as new guitar player, in time to finish the second album "The Darkening". It is released worldwide on iTunes.
Progressive rock like Yes and Genesis, add the influence of Beatles and Joe Satriani, pour in a cup of electronica beats and samples, mix it all up and serve it as a film soundtrack.
