			The group started as a project between [[Alexia Baldacchino]] and [[Mark Tagliaferro]], experimenting with various styles of melodic metal. After working with a number of different people, Alexia then came up with the idea of writing a concept album based on the 1565 Great Siege of Malta. The line-up eventually settled with Michael and Charlie on vocals and bass.

	The members made vast research into the siege, drawn ever more into the compelling epic history of their motherland. At times, while poring over old texts and paintings at the National Library, the band felt they where transported back to the 16th Century and tried hard to envisage what our forefathers had to endure. Enthralled by the courage of a few thousands against 'the mightiest Armada ever assembled' by the Ottoman Sultan, Suleiman the Magnificent, the band set feverishly to work on this original project. While keeping traditional metal roots but adding more ambiance, Memento Nostri are aspiring to create a melodic, imaginative, lyrical and romantic medieval folkloric masterpiece.

Memento Nostri started as a project between Alexia and Mark, experimenting with various styles of melodic metal. After working with a number of different people, Alexia then came up with the idea of writing a concept album based on the 1565 Great Siege of Malta. The line-up eventually settled with Michael and Charlie on vocals and bass.
The members made vast research into the siege, drawn ever more into the compelling epic history of their motherland. At times, while poring over old texts and paintings at the National Library, the band felt they where transported back to the 16th Century and tried hard to envisage what our forefathers had to endure. Enthralled by the courage of a few thousands against 'the mightiest Armada ever assembled' by the Ottoman Sultan, Suleiman the Magnificent, the band set feverishly to work on this original project. While keeping traditional metal roots but adding more ambience, Memento Nostri are aspiring to create a melodic, immaginative, lyrical and romantic medieval folkloristic masterpiece.

In August 2006, after much hard work, the band launched their first single to much critical acclaim. To Memento Nostri's extreme pleasure 'Decimation at the Gates - The Battle of Santa Margerita' was not only appreciated by the Metal community but the rich orchestrations appealed to a much wider audience. Encouraged by these comments the band wanted to get quickly to work on more material but most of the band's equipment was stolen shortly after the release of the track halting their progress.
