Memorist was a six-piece alternative metal band that hailed from South West England. The band consisted of Jon Sinfield on vocals and production, Chris Biddiscombe on guitars, Ash Scott on guitars and production, Crayg on electronics, Josh on bass, and Benji on drums. The concept of Memorist took shape in early 2018 when Chris encountered an old friend of Jon's during his wedding in Las Vegas, who happened to be a photographer for the event. Impressed by Jon's vocal abilities, they began collaborating remotely, writing and demoing tracks.
