History & Biography
This group assembled in Venice through the work of singer and bassist Davide Lazzarini in 2012 before going on hiatus in 2013 and, like every other band, returning. Drummer Emma Collelli and guitarist Samantha Zammattio left in 2017. Pietro Battiston left in 2020 after being with the group for five years. The comings and goings of part-time members commenced. A demo in 2015 was called Horror Vacui. Another one was called Revenant. 2016 brought Goat's Guts. The Abyss demo of 2017 was given the CD treatment by Envenomed. The act appeared on a compilation called Highway To Schifo. The same label released the band’s next album. Re-Membrance was a covers’ demo with a few live tracks added.

Italy-based Membrance released its 2023 album Undead Island through Extreme Metal Music, a subsidiary of Rockshots Records, in June. There was a video for the song Riva De Biasio featuring a cannibal butcher. The group was booked for the EResia Metalfest in the summer. Gregorio Di Angilla left and the band recruited guitarist Mattia Guzzonato. The band had a video for the song Spirar Nel Caigo in 2024. The song was taken from the Undead Island album. The title translates into 'dying in the fog' and referred to ancient fisherman. Membrance released a demo, called Undead Remains, on October 11th 2024. The song Corpse For Sale was against tourists visiting Venice while Vengeance’s Price was inspired by Shakespeare’s play The Merchant Of Venice and, like every release, had a guest musician. There were two live tracks and a cover version.

The lyrics revolve Venetian lagoon legends and folklore, which are sung in both English and the Italian dying Venetian dialect.
