UMUR
"Memento Mori" is an EP release by Danish, Frederikshavn based death metal act Chronicle. The EP was independently released in December 2016 and bridges the gap between Chronicle´s debut- and sophomore studio albums "Primordial Fear" from November 2015 and "Demonology" from March 2020.

While continuing their core melodic death metal style (by now having ditched most of their early thrash metal influences) "Memento Mori" still shows a more professional sounding and mature Chronicle. Lead vocalist/guitarist Lars Bo Nepper has now spiced up his blackened snarling vocals with some aggressive growling vocals, and the more varied vocal approach is a great asset to the band´s sound. A better quality sound production than on the early releases is also a big plus, and as the musicianship has also become tighter and the performances stronger, "Memento Mori" definitely comes off as a good quality melodic death metal release.

5 tracks distributed over a 27:39 minutes long playing time is what you get and therefore there´s both enough quantity and quality here to warrant a purchase. A 3 - 3.5 star (65%) rating is warranted.
