Description
Memory Garden is a doom metal and heavy metal band from Kumla, Sweden. They were signed to Metal Blade Records until 2002, and signed with Vic Records in 2006.
In September 2007 the band lost their only bass player to date, Ken Johansson, who had to quit because of lack of time. The band then found a replacement in young Johan Fredriksson.
In late October 2008, shortly after the release of "Carnage Carnival", longtime rhythm guitarist and main lyricist Anders Looström left the band because of "personal priorities." Ante Mäkelä was recruited to replace Looström.
The band is said to have taken their name from the Trouble song, Memory's Garden.
