Hello all, here i'm gonna go through the history of Memorized Dreams, how it all began, previous members and band names. It all began back in 1999, when Kaare Jenssen wanted to start a metal band, he was joined by Stian Rødsjø, Frode Hovd, Ståle Rosø, and Hugo Rødsjø. We rehearsed together, and soon Symphonica Divine was formed. Soon Kenneth Skarsvaag joined on Bass, and the lineup was complete. In the beginning we played some covers of Helloween, Stratovarius and other famous power metal band. After a while we started writing our own songs, and the songs Holy Land & Ancient Sin was actually made back then..

We played some liveshows, and wrote more songs, but after a while Ståle Rosø (Vocals)had to leave the band, because he simply was too busy with his work. He was soon replaced by Maria Garli, and the band took a new direction, towards a more rock'ish oriented style, with female vocals. Some songs were written here aswell, but after a while the band had once again a change of style, and we decided a name change would be appropiate, so we now changed into Dreamscape. We were now playing a kind of prog metal, like bands like Symphony X & Dream Theater.

We soon realized that this wasn't us, so after a band meeting, everyone agreed that we should go back to our roots, and start playing those fast songs again, and soon Memorized Dreams saw the light of day. After a while we started recording our first demo, "Mirror Of Life", and it was during these recording sessions we discovered the vocal talents of Geir Rosø, so we asked him to join the band, and luckily he agreed.

The demo was well received all around the globe with nice reviews. Alot of mails were comming in, especially from Asia, where people seem to enjoy this kind of music. We also got an order for 100 cds from DiskHeaven in Japan, and then things started to get serious. The bands main goal from the beginning was to achieve a record deal, and in December 2002, SOUND RIOT RECORDS made an offer to sign the band. The band was offered a good contract, and found a label with alot of enthusiasm and a genuine interest to work with the band. During the summer of 2003, Geir Rosø left the band, and we we now on the look for a new singer.

The band then started to rehears and write new material for the forthcomming album "Theater Of Life". And in November 2003, the band entered Skansen Studio to record our first full-lenght album. The new singer Terje Harøy also joined the band during these recordings, and the lineup was finally complete. In the beginning of 2004, the album was ready to be mastered by no other than Tommy Newton, famous for his work with artist like Helloween, Kamelot ++. The album was released in May 2004, and the feedback has been great!.
