"MEMENTO MORI" may be a debut, but you can clearly hear the progress that HOSTAGE has made since their first singles.

Modern metalcore that doesn't simply rely on the usual clichés but dares to venture into the unfamiliar.

That's precisely why it sounds fresh and exciting, unlike any genre representative in a long time. Tracks like "The Swarm," "Break The Cycle," or "Vanitas" propel forward just as powerfully as the newly recorded "Game Over" or "Rebellion" and make no compromises, both musically and emotionally.
