Third full length by Italian Black Metal band HERUKA, "Memorie" revolves around the "memento mori" theme: main thread is the exploration of the multiple states of mind, linked to the inconsistency of human life and the need to put an end to it

Chosen artwork completes the conceptual death work as well: a detail of "The Human Fragility", homage to a masterpiece by Italian painter Salvator Rosa (1656 circa).

"Memorie", as it happened for the early Heruka releases, features lyrics completely sung in Italian and this time composed in poetry style. The Heruka project was founded in 2000 and evolves its formula on every album.

The closing track "Passacaglia" is a cover of "Passacaglia della Vita", a 17th century baroque song often attributed to the Italian composer Stefano Landi, covered by many artists of different styles along the centuries. HERUKA brings the tune in a Black Metal interpretation, with the help of two special guests to recall the baroque origin in the intro and the outro.
