Greetings MEMORIES OF OLD community!
Today we have an important update to share with you.
Regretfully we must announce that the time has come for our epic and majestic singer Tommy to step away from MEMORIES OF OLD, in order to better focus his time into his many other endeavours and to allow the band to fully flourish in the new era we are embarking upon.
In Tommy’s very own words:
„Hello dear MEMORIES OF OLD followers!
After talking to Billy we came to the arrival of a conclusion that my chapter in MEMORIES OF OLD unfortunately had to come to an end.
It’s a decision that came from both of us.
MEMORIES OF OLD is a rising star on the Power Metal sky beyond the Land of Xia and since I have both Sabaton, Majestica, my YouTube channel and a life outside music I just can’t give them the time they deserve to become an even more successful band.
We would just be hiding in Zera’s Shadow waiting for me to have more time, and that’s not fair.
It wasn’t my destiny to carry the torch across the sea with this glorious Power Metal band. But who knows, some day soon we might be working together again and that would be a privilege.
I am forever grateful I got to be a part of the story and joining in from the start of this journey together with Billy and the others on ”The Zeramin Game” and I have found a friend in time and a brother in Metal with Billy and I will continue to listen to MEMORIES OF OLD and support the band in every way.
Thanks for the time in MEMORIES OF OLD and thanks to all you fantastic MEMORIES OF OLD fans who have supported this band all the way from the start!
Your hooded traveller / Tommy“

FireWölfe – „Air Attack“ video out now!
„Air Attack“ was the first song FireWölfe wrote together. The original song idea came from guitarist Paul Kleff and the simple, straight forward approach of the song was the perfect vehicle for David Fefolt to craft his lyrics and melodies around. We thought it would make a great opening track for the album because of it’s intense, heavy grooves and simple song structure. Lyrically the song is literally about being in an „air attack“ in war times. As such we thought it would be cool to have some sound effects of air planes and some wartime explosions and gunfire as well. Paul Kleff also plays the super melodic solo on this track. „Air Attack“ is always mentioned as a fan favorite, and we wanted to do a cool video featuring World War II era fighter planes for the „Reloaded“ release of the debut album. Check it out!

FireWölfe – visualizer for „Unholy“ out now!
FireWölfe release visualizer video for „Unholy“ today. A catchy track from their upcoming remastered debut album reissue, out on July 1st in Europe and on August 5th in North America.
Guitarist and songwriter Nick Layton says:
“If I remember correctly UNHOLY was one of the last songs we wrote but we instantly knew we had something special with this song.
I was sitting with my guitar and experimenting with an open string idea in the key of G minor. I wanted to use the open G as a pedal to play a melody off of. That became the intro to the song and one of the song’s big hooks.
Dave’s lyrics tell the story of a love/hate relationship with a woman. It’s the old tale about someone we know know is bad for us but we can’t seem to break away from. I think the chorus is one of our all time best – melodic and heavy!
Paul Kleff and I had a blast trading guitar licks on the outro of the song. Overall UNHOLY is probably my favorite FireWölfe track. We’ve heard from many of our fans over the years and this ranks at the top of nearly everyone’s list.”
