Memory Garden were formed in 1992 in Sweden, recording demo and EP releases (including "Forever", one of the finest EPs in metal history) until 1996 where their debut fulllength album "Tides" shocked the Doom Metal world. A technical, crushing and powerful album that paved the way for the future, with Memory Garden releasing more albums like "Verdict of Posterity" (1998), "Mirage" (2000), "Carnage Carnival" (2008) and "Doomain" (2013). Hailed as one of the best Doom Metal bands, Memory Garden are ready to strike again with a new album that will shock the scene.
"1349" is a conceptual album and the storyline covers both fact and fiction, taking place during the pandemic years of the black plague. The album is mixed and mastered by Dan Swanö and the artwork is created by Hjules (Destruction, Grave Digger, Annihilator, Stratovarius). Guest artists such as Niklas Stålvind (Wolf), Josefin Bäck (the original voice of "Marion" from the first demo in 1993) and Göran "Freddy" Fredrikson (medieval instruments) contribute to this album, that will offer a sufficient dose of Swedish powerdoom-metal.
