Battle of Britain Memorial was founded in April 2009 in Toulouse, France, by the will of three friends (Paul, guitars ; Ludo, voice ; and Vincent, drums) who simply wanted to play some music together.

They scored several songs but their true identity emerged when Rémi (bass) joined the band in October 2009. Led by mutual influences, from post-rock (Mogwai, Explosions in the Sky…) to screamo (Envy, Impure Wilhelmina…) and post-hardcore (Neurosis, Cult of Luna…), the band established a live set and did its first concert in May 2010. BOBM performed several gigs near Toulouse in 2010, with bands such as Time To Burn, Sélénites, When Icarus Falls or Robot Orchestra.

A debut album was recorded in summer 2010 by Jérémie Mazan (guitarist in Nephalokia) and was out on May 6th 2011. The Aftermath of Your Bright Beings is a concept-album about the decay of the human being through the eyes of a witness, doing an introspection about its own nature, until the irrevocable fall and the final destruction.


FRENCH :

Battle of Britain Memorial se forme en avril 2009 à Toulouse grâce à l’envie commune de trois potes (Paul aux guitares, Ludo au chant et Vincent à la batterie) de faire de la musique ensemble. Quelques compositions émergent rapidement mais ce n’est qu’à l’arrivée de Rémi (basse) en octobre 2009 que le groupe trouve son identité.

Mené par des influences communes, allant du post-rock (Mogwai, Explosions in the Sky...) au screamo (Envy, Impure Wilhelmina...) en passant par le post-hardcore (Neurosis, Cult of Luna...), le groupe met rapidement en place un set live et participe au tremplin de l’Assaut Musical à Labège, qu’il remporte en mai 2010. BOBM réalise alors une dizaine de dates dans la région Toulousaine en 2010, aux côtés de groupes tels que Time To Burn, Sélénites, When Icarus Falls ou encore Robot Orchestra.

Un premier album est enregistré en été 2010 par Jérémie Mazan (guitariste de Nephalokia) et sort le 6 mai 2011, le soir de leur retour sur scène à Toulouse aux côtés de Nephalokia. The Aftermath of Your Bright Beings est un concept-album, contant la décadence de l’être humain à travers les yeux d’un témoin, faisant par la même une introspection sur sa propre nature, jusqu’à la chute irrévocable et la destruction finale.
