A solo metal project created by Blake Lamoureux out of Des Moines, Iowa. Sonically, Ophidian Memory uses a base of melodic death metal to add and blend multiple sub genres together including black metal, thrash, progressive metal, and metalcore. Each album tells of tales based in a fictional universe where beings of light and dark plot to destroy humanity, eachother, and Existence. The newest record "Seraphim" is not only a narrative sequel to 'Our Shattered Garden', but also a climax in the sense of the overarching narrative of Existence. "Seraphim" brings many new factions into focus, as a war between Seraphs, humans, and Primordials rages across the continent of The Meadow. From the Luminary and Kerberos, to the Demigod Primordials and the Seraphs, each group has those who pick a side, and each side pays their price in blood. This is the prophesized end of the world, but Xathanas has already chosen to invert prophecy. They will build a coalition by crossing the line and betraying their kin in order to help all of humanity. It is by Xathanas' courage, that others are inspired to fight until their very last breath, as that breath could be at any moment. The battle is light against dark, a duality inside each individual. While the can light blind, a sliver of hope is seen in the darkness...
