Mnemesis is the fifth album by Danish metal band Mnemic. This is the first album to feature new members Simone Bertozzi, Victor-Ray Salomonsen and Brian Larsen.
History
In April 2011, longtime bass player Tomas "Obeast" Koefoed announced his departure from the band, stating that his ambitions weren't fulfilled with the band.[2] Later that year, original members drummer Brian "Brylle" Rasmussen and guitarist Rune Stigart also left the group. In October, former members were officially replaced, respectively, by Italian bassist Simone Bertozzi and Danish Tour members drummer Brian Larsen, and guitarist Victor-Ray Salomonsen.[3]
In March 2012, Mnemic announced that their new album would be called Mnemesis, and would be produced by producer Tue Madsen. The artwork for the album was created by Metastazis.[4] In April, the band announced the track list and that the album was set to release on June 8.[5] In May, Mnemic toured Europe, alongside Raunchy, to promote Mnemesis.[6]
On May 3, 2012, the band released the first single from the album called "I've Been You" on SoundCloud.[7]
In the first week Mnemesis sold 800 copies in the United States only, landing at position #38 on the Heatseekers Album chart.[8]
On September 18, 2012, a music video for the single "I've Been You" was released.
