In comparison to its predecessor, the new record focusses more on the aggressive side of the band’s music. Having put a lot of blood, sweat and tears into developing their sound, the band have skillfully crafted a monstrous tone that further enhances their imposing warfare.
To celebrate the release of the album, Memoriam are pleased to present a new lyric video for the track ‘As Bridges Burn’. Watch it below;
The band states: “As Bridges Burn is a song about change – a song about moving forward and not looking back. It is a song about transition which reflects the place where the band are at right now. It is a song that is all about having no regrets for the past and having hope for the future.”

7. The New Dark Ages

MEMORIAM commented on Bleed The Same, track: “Bleed The Same is a response to the fear and hatred that exists in the world that we live in today. The lyrics are predominately about freedom, equality and justice. This is a theme that is explored throughout the new album The Silent Vigil. The lyrical content of the song is a comment on the the rise of nationalistic xenophobic ideologies that proliferate on a global scale right now. The song was ironically inspired by a speech given by Donald Trump in his inauguration ceremony in 2017.”

Karl Willetts – ex-BOLT THROWER | vocals
Frank Healy – BENEDICTION, SACRILEGE | bass
Andy Whale – ex-BOLT THROWER | drums
