"T-Bast (Sebastien Dupont)" was born in 1971. He begins playing music in his early age touching lots of different instruments. In 85/86, he visits some Quebec city bands in their practice place on a regular base and decides to makes up his first band:''Omnicient Conscious'', wich is a mix between hardcore, punk and metal. Some shows will follow.In the early 1990, he goes through some musical projects like ''Wisdom's Shrine'' and lays out his first studio recording on ''Smash The Chords'', a compilation showing bands from Quebec. In 93, he starts a project called ''Full Lenght'' with his actual bass player Desh ending in studio for a song named ''Daily Dream''. IN those years T-Bast becomes a dj in a bar ''La Fourmie Atomik'' for several years but still, he follows his musical progression, learning the scene technique with some professionnals and improving his skills on samplers and electronic music. T-bast is in advance on his time for mixing metal and electronics, experimenting alone and with friends for a while.In 1997 T-bast joins Les Slips as the drummer. A demo tape comes out of this project and the band(a girls band exept for him) makes some concerts even in Montreal.In 1999, he gets recruted by Desh to join Tereza as second guitar. T-bast renews with beeing on stage, opening for bands like Mass Hysteria, Anonymous, B.A.R.F., Lofofora, etc... Tereza ends in may 2001 with the departure of drummer and founder Ti-Buzé and he decides to continue the trip by forming Memorium with his 2 fellows.T-bast writes most of Memorium music and he's not done with surprising the fans..."Bob (Robert Girard)" was born in 1974. At the age of 9 he gets a drum and his fisrt Kiss album. He is then charmed by rock & roll. At 10, he moves next to an older guy who plays heavy metal and he gets Bob to listen to a lot of good bands that will change his life.In 1987, Bob sets his first band ''Fastiner''. In 1989 he his marked by the Quebec undergroud scene, especially Soothsayer. Soothsayer's signer will exercise a big influence on him. during 5 years he will hang in different band's practice locals and he knows that sooner or latter he'll have his chance too.In 1994, he joins Soulsick(from whom the drummer will be the founder of Tereza) to make back vocals.In 1995 he signs for the first time in a cover band playing Metallica, Slayer, Sepultura, etc...Sepultura will have a serious effect on what the Tereza project is about to become.Tereza was formed in 1996 by 5 guys from Sainte-Therese-de Lisieux. The band has the reputation of fraternizing with criminal organisations but they are not so dangerous nevertheless... After 3 concerts they participate to a musical festival. Then they find themselves playing with the legendar band ''Voivod''. They also played at the Dagobert in Quebec city where it is verry hard to appear as an original band. In 1997 ''Rapace'' appears as their first cd album and after some shows they opened for Voivod, twice in the same year.Signer Bob and drummer Ti-Buzé are on their way along with other musicians and make the Polliwog contest in 1998, as Tereza, Putrid and Red Core make it to the finals. One of these shows got burned on cd and gave the Refound zero ep witch was mixed by Pierre Remillard, the second cd from Tereza.Bob is now signer for Memorium and he is considerate as the soul and leader of the band..."Desh (Pascal Deschatelets)" was born in 1970. Growing up listening to Kiss, judas priest, the Beatles, Black Sabbath, Scorpions, etc, he knew that some day he would play in a rock & roll band and he allways looked forward to it. He begins playing bass in 1986 and plays in a band since then. His first band is a tribute to Mettallica and Iron Maiden. Desh has Steeve Harris and Cliff Burton as models. A year latter he forms his first original band R.A.G.(Rotting Ass Gass), a mix of hardcore and crossover. In those years Desh starts to hang out in bands locals like Sadistic Vision and Soothsayer meeting lots of musicians and new friends. Dying-out is born with a more punk-like soud and then, Vati-Plouk 5, a demo tape will come out and some shows will follow before it becomes Mitsein, a more progressive-hardcore band that will make a demo in 1991 and a couple shows before he makes some apparitions in Sadistic Vision.In 1993 and for 3 years, he experiments music with his today's accomplice T-bast.In 1996 he joins the band June and makes a lot of shows and participates to the contest ''Rock Sans Frontieres'' in Montreal. They went to the semi-finals arriving in fourth place on 72 bands.
Desh and June made a demo called ''Tidal Wave'' and latter a cd album called ''Image''. June ends in 1999 and Desh joins the ranks of Tereza and gets his old friend T-bast to fit in. Tereza is allready known as a promising band on the Quebec scene and big shows will follow the alliance... But you already know the end of that story...Desh is now a part of Memorium and wants to kick ass all aroud..."Alexx (Alexendre Lapointe)" was born in 1986. This youg guy had sticks in his hands pretty early... He always knew what direction to take. His first album was ''Use Your Illusion'' from Guns & Roses, and also some Pink Floyd and stuff...

He's got rythm and his teacher is confident that it's just the begining of something hot. During 5 years he will deepen his skills, learning drum rudiments and techniques. Once a year his music school makes a benefit concert and Alexx plays drum for different artists and different styles as well, always keeping in mind that his dream is forward to become.Alexx' actual influences are sure contrasting with that time; Dimmu Borgir, Sliptknot, Slayer,etc...
