Memento Mori<\/strong><\/em>\".<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
From death metal, metalcore to deathcore and rap, the band covers everything in their new album, so surprises are not uncommon here. You can expect a very harmonious album, which plays with the constant change between melodic passages and an unbridled rage, bundled in fast rhythms. Hostage<\/strong> combines here the right mixture of energetic breakdowns and modern, fresh elements, without depriving their actual sound of its distinguishing feature. Connecting so many different musical styles and finding the right balance is an art we give them credit for.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
\"Memento Mori<\/strong><\/em>\" means \"Be aware of mortality\". In their new album, the band takes up exactly this theme, mortality and finiteness: \"We wanted to express that everything has an end at some point. Nothing stays forever, neither the good nor the bad.<\/em>\" the band states. That makes it all the more important to use the time and also to reflect on the past. To live in the moment and at the same time to be aware of what this moment means, \"Memento Mori<\/strong><\/em>\" is thought-provoking here.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
Not only the fact that the band released a flawless debut album, but also that the guest acts are out of this world makes this one too good to be true. On \"M.U.T.O.\" you get to hear Marius Wedler from Alleviate<\/strong> and on \"Game Over\" Christoph Wieczorek from Annisokay<\/strong> . The track \"Rebellion\", meanwhile, has attracted a star line-up that we haven't heard in this form before. Henning Wehland and Dave Gappa from H-Blocks<\/strong> lend their voices to \"Rebellion\" and support the band in their album. With this, the two musicians return a little to their rock roots, which will not leave fans of Hostage<\/strong> as well as H-Blocks unimpressed. About the collab, the band tells:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
\"Hey, screw the scene idea. Our parents gave us this music in our cradle, we're total fans, and getting both of them in front of the mic was insane.\"<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n
The 15 songs that Hostage<\/strong> have released with \"Memento Mori<\/strong>\" give a first insight into what the band will be able to do in the future and which stages they want to play on. Our magazine agrees that this is a sound the scene can't miss and we really hope to hear\/see them live soon. Absolute recommendation from us!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
