Memento Mori lead vocalist Josh Bibby is ready to tear his throat open in a masochistic act of progressive metal. Supporting him on guitars and drums are brothers Jose and Tony Romero, respectively. Locals by way of Woodland, Memento Mori will be headlining an evening of double bass drums, long hair and black T-shirts. Their guitar licks circulate faster than NASCAR, and the muted breakdowns are heavier, thicker and darker than the Deepwater Horizon disaster. Journal, the Descolada Virus, I Wish We Were Robots and Hugo Stiglitz will open. And remember: Metal never dies, it just gets bleaker. 9426 Greenback Lane in Orangevale, www.myspace.com/mementomorica.
