About Me |

The history of Momento Mori UK :- Originally formed in 1987 in northern England, Momento Mori UK were very active participants in the UK goth scene of the late 80's/early 90's. Soon after their formation, they were touring and gigging extensively, with bands such as Every New Dead Ghost, Sins of the Flesh, Dream Disciples, The Marionettes, Christabelle Children, and Rosetta Stone. But whilst heavily goth-influenced in both sound and image, Momento Mori UK never resorted to cliche. With a sound drawing from influences as diverse as The Chameleons, The Sisters of Mercy, and the Pixies, this band sounded like no-one else. By the late-80's their profile was at a high. By that time they were playing gigs in continental Europe, to crowds of up to 2000 people. They also played gigs behind the Iron Curtain, (where beer was still 2p a pint!!) In 1991 the band were featured in Mick Mercer's infamous "Gothic Rock" book. And they finally got a vinyl release, which supplemented their numerous demo tapes. But then during 1992, and 200 gigs later, it all imploded. Debts accrued, musical differences, the usual dramas; these factors all helped to nail the coffin lid firmly shut. But fast-forward to 2007..... and in celebration of the 20th anniversary since it all began, Momento Mori rose from the ashes... Complete with original members from the 80's, exciting gigs, and even new material. So the waiting is over. 2007 marked this unique and exciting band's final ReBirth... And 2008 will see further evolution, including more gigs, and a brand-new studio CD. So stay tuned!
