OPHIDIAN MEMORY is an American death metal project leaded by Blake Lamoureux. He already has in his account three records: “Ophidian Memory” (EP, 2021) and albums “The Stag” (2022), “Our Shattered Garden” (2023).
Sonically Ophidian Memory uses a base of melodic death metal to add and blend multiple sub genres together including black metal, thrash, progressive metal, and metalcore. Each album tells of tales based in a fictional universe where beings of light and dark are entwined in constant conflict as they plot to destroy humanity, eachother, and existence.
Now he is going to release brand new studio album titled “Carrion Lord“.
Music was recorded and mixed by Blake Lamoureux. Mastering was done by Rick Stallkamp. Cover artwork was done by Caelan Stokkermans (Abiotic, Hannes Grossmann, Lorna Shore). Album will be released on September 27, 2024.
“Carrion Lord” is a prequel to previous releases and marks a huge expansion in lore, set over one thousand years before the events of “The Stag” and “Our Shattered Garden“. Introduced are the main influential factions in the human realm known as The Kerberos and The Luminary as well as the characters within them that lead a great chain of causes and effects. In addition, new and returning ancient deities and seraphs that have only been mentioned before will make reprises and revelations.
