Binary Code announces the May 15th release of its third full-length album: Memento Mori.
Memento Mori is an immersive experience that absolutely crushes. With cinematic atmosphere, metallic weight, and heart-wrenching sadness, Binary Code have created an album that commands attention from the first note to the last. Inspired entirely by the tragic death of Binary Code founder/guitarist Jesse Zuretti's girlfriend, Memento Mori is the full realization of this band's potential – channeling the members' formidable talents into music that pulls the listener through intense mourning, toward catharsis.
Zuretti states: "The album was written after my girlfriend at the time committed suicide. I found her hours after seeing her earlier that day. The album literally saved my life. I remember begging life for a sign or some guidance, and I woke up the next day and started writing music."
All sales of Memento Mori will be donated to suicide prevention.

With Memento Mori, the sound has evolved into something even grander and more timeless: a massive, majestic version of heavy rock. Binary Code have graduated to a level where everything is done in service of the songs themselves. Every rhythmic and melodic detail is in place, working in unison to convey the emotional weight of the story.
Zuretti's mention of composers comes as no surprise – by day, he is a composer of music for Marvel Entertainment.
"Those I Sought to Spare" features a guitar solo by Jeff Loomis (Arch Enemy, Nevermore).
The album was mastered by Alan Douches (Mastodon, Converge).
The album artwork was created by Eliran Kantor (Soulfly, Testament).
