Memento mori record company press release: "We're beyond stoked to announce the release of a CD that will compile the two demos of the old, obscure Finnish band Cerebrum, as well as the three previously unreleased songs featured on the "Endless Tears of the Distant Sea" compilation tape (Old Skull Productions, 2017).
Cerebrum was spawned in Turku back in 1992 and is yet another largely unsung name from the early/mid 90's Finnish Death Metal scene, perhaps for having been a bit late to the game, with their solid debut demo, Demo #1 (1993), being released in a time when many of their peers were already splitting up or moving on musically. Old school Death Metal was the name of the game, as the band proudly wore the influence of bands such as Death, Morbid Angel, Entombed, Carcass, Obituary and Xysma on their sleeve. The band took a more melancholic, melodic and ambitiously progressive direction on their second demo, Grief (1994), which displayed a band bursting with skill and vision, willing to expand their sonic range in a way not unlike what other bands such as Carbonized, Phlebotomized, Edge of Sanity, Opeth, Amorphis and Sentenced were doing at the time. However, lineup changes ensued and the band faded into obscurity shortly after.
All the songs featured on this compilation of Cerebrum's body of work, titled Vestiges of an Evoked Past (1993-1994), were subtly remastered by Tuomas Virtanen (the band's current keyboardist) for an even more pleasurable listening experience, and the cover art was provided by the talented Finnish artist Toni Hietomaa.
Memento Mori will unleash Vestiges of an Evoked Past (1993-1994) on July 21st, 2025. Meanwhile, make sure to follow them on social media and listen to the demos and the bonus songs on their YouTube channel (links below)."
