Memoriam release new song ‘Shell Shock’

MEMORIAM have released a new song!

The new song, titled Shell Shock, is taken from the band’s upcoming new album Requiem For Mankind which is scheduled to be released in June.

Speaking about the song, the band says, “a new MEMORIAM song, a new approach, and as with all our albums a new sound for us to use. Shell Shock is the first track we recorded for the Requiem For Mankind album. It is a bit of a death metal headbanger of a track! Subject wise, it deals with the effects of being on the frontline amongst all the noise and chaos of a horrific war situation from an individual standpoint, and also that the soldier does not die from an enemy bullet! Sound wise it needed to sound a bit epic, we think we have achieved this on Shell Shock and have used this as the blueprint sound throughout the album.”
