Power metal kings WINGS OF DESTINY are proud to release the track “Memento Mori” via Wormholedeath / The Orchard.
“Memento Mori” is the 1rst single taken from the band’s upcoming self-titled album Memento Mori.
Special appearance is made by the band’s friend, sound engineer and co-producer Juan Pablo Calvo (from the local band Time’s Forgotten) who landed a short piece of piano solo.
Band statement:
«Memento Mori» music was written by Anton Darusso and lead guitar player Andres Castro together in order to enclose and capture the raw emotion and neoclassical feel that reflects band´s power, showing band´s skills and transmitting raw and agressive modern power metal with a very unique style and sound. The song is about the actual meaning of the words «Memento Mori» — the simple reminder that we all gonna die soon and that we cannot think of ourselves as immortal beings, comparing often ourselves with God. It is a real introspection in personal fears and thoughts about Life and Death. The song sets the whole feel of the upcoming album that is a raw true metal, full of catchy melodies and deep & meaningful lyrics, interpreted by one of the best power metal singers on the scene today, accompanied by the absolutely amazing musicians. It is a statement from the band, no special guests this time, no ballads, just Wings of Destiny.
