Since releasing ‘The Zeramin Game’, the British band went through various line-up changes without any loss of quality. In 2022, bassist Rhys Morgan became the band’s low frequency backbone: “Rhys is a big friendly giant, a kind and quiet person with a heart of gold. He is an amazingly solid bass player who plays our style of music perfectly.” 

In 2024, Billy stumbled over the incredible talents of US-American singer Noah Simmons, who became the new voice of the band, following in the footsteps of former Memories Of Old vocalists Tommy Johannson (Majestica, ex-Sabaton) and Jamie Jordan (Skies Turn Black): “I actually discovered Noah on Facebook singing a cover, and fortunately he was already a fan of our music. He is a true legend, a very bright and vibrant person who is incredibly proactive and devoted to the band. He is funny as hell and is also very family oriented, which for me is very heartwarming. His voice is, in my opinion, one of the best in the world of power metal.”

The fifth star in the ‘Never Stop Believing’ mix is Wayne Dorman, former lead guitarist of British thrash pioneers Onslaught, who discovered Memories Of Old by answering an ad. His sense for crystal clear melodies connected strongly with Billy: “Wayne was our saving grace! He wanted to leave his thrash metal days behind and return to his power metal roots. At the last minute, we managed to get him onto the album, even recording solos during the final mixing sessions. He is an unbelievable guitarist, and his playing is truly flawless. He is able to write solos as if he is inside my mind, nailing my vision every time without fail.”

‘Never Stop Believing’ contains eleven epic tracks, two of which were previously recorded with former singer Jamie Jordan, those being “Guardians of the Kingdom” and “Fly Away Together”. They were both released by Limb Music in 2022 and 2023 respectively.

The icing on the cake for this stellar album came in the form of its production, highlighting all the best and most epic qualities it has to offer. Billy worked alongside former Power Quest vocalist Alessio Garavello to mix and master the album at Rogue Studios in London. The epic sweeping soundscapes and orchestration perfectly highlight the solo guitar work, and combine with the vocals to deliver an impact that is both majestic and heavy.
