Memento Mori, the latest album by Full Max, is a powerful and introspective work that explores the themes of mortality, loss, and the impermanence of life. The album is a departure from Full Max's previous work, which was more upbeat and optimistic, but it is a welcome change that showcases the artist's versatility and depth.
The album opens with the haunting track "Ashes to Ashes," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. Full Max's vocals are raw and emotive, conveying the pain and sadness that permeates the lyrics. The instrumentation is sparse, consisting of a simple piano melody and subtle electronic beats, which create a moody and atmospheric sound.
The album's standout track is "Ghosts of Yesterday," a heartbreaking ballad that chronicles the aftermath of a loved one's death. Full Max's lyrics are poignant and evocative, and his vocals are filled with emotion. The song builds to a powerful climax, with the addition of a soaring string section that adds to the song's emotional impact.
Other highlights on the album include "Fading Away," a melancholy track that explores the fleeting nature of life, and "Echoes," a haunting instrumental that serves as a fitting conclusion to the album.
