Your Memorial was a metalcore group originating from Hennepin County, Minnesota, United States, and was signed under the Facedown Records label. Their first full-length album, titled Seasons, debuted in 2008. This was succeeded by Atonement in 2010 and Redirect in 2012, with the latter earning positions on the Billboard Christian Albums and Heatseekers charts. On May 9, 2017, the band declared their breakup but announced plans to release a self-titled EP produced by Ryan Leitru (associated with Nothing Left and formerly For Today) on November 10, 2017.
History
Following the release of their initial album Seasons in 2008, Your Memorial caught the attention of Facedown Records, who signed them prior to the launch of their 2010 record Atonement. Their 2012 album Redirect achieved chart recognition on two separate Billboard listings: the Christian Albums and Heatseekers Albums charts. Although the band dissolved in 2017, they completed a self-titled EP produced by Ryan Leitru, which was slated for release later that year.
Musical style
The band's sound has been categorized by critics into various genres including soft mathcore, melodic hardcore, progressive metal, crossover thrash, hardcore punk, metalcore, and screamo. Some reviewers have also described their music as avant-garde metal blended with elements of post-hardcore. The group themselves identify their style as Christian metal due to its spiritual lyrical content and classify it as heavy metal based on its overall musical intensity.
