The band MEMORIA was founded in June 1998, though then it was called MYSTERY. The members were Honza Soc (vocals), Rosta Skacel (guitar), Pavel Chudy (guitar), Filip Chudy (bassguitar), Hanka Ryskova (flute) and Michal Hajda (drums). This line-up recorded the demo „Desire“ at the turn of 1998 and 1999. In 1999 the group went through line-up changes. Hanka Ryskova and Honza Soc left and the keyboard player Petr Duba, guitarist Zdenek Pastorek and viola player Iva Dokoupilova entered the band. In March 2000 Michal Hajda also left because of his busy timetable and was replaced by Pavel Fojtik at the drums.

In March 2001 the first album by the band entitled „Children of the Doom“ was released by the Leviathan Records. Another line-up changes occurred in 2002 when the singer Pavel Chudy was replaced by the young gifted female singer Andrea Baslova and the year after when the bass player Filip Chudy left.

Since the end of 2002 MEMORIA has been in the care the REDBLACK. The group prepared ten compositions and in January 2003 they were recorded as a CD „The Timelessness“ under the production supervision of Milos „Dodo“ Dolezal.

The band has recently been promoting this second official album and working on new material...
