Eramnesia – Entropy (Official Lyric Video) – YouTube
Guitarist Patrick Reilly (Tengger Cavalry, Fellahin Fall) and vocalist Aimee Zambrana (formerly Van Roxanne) joined forces in 2022 to form Eramnesia. Their first single, ‘Alone Under Neon Lights,’ was met with positive reception upon its’ release in January 2023, and listeners have been enthusiastically anticipating their next single ever since.
Pat Reilly’s heavy metal roots are more apparent in this song, and Aimee Zambrana’s lyrics take a step over into the metaphysical, peeling back a layer only to reveal more mystery.
Pat Reilly states, “Ironically, the version of ‘Entropy’ you will hear is the result of several transformations of its elements. ‘Entropy’ was created off of a vocal that Aimee had written years ago for a different project. Our new version was then completely lost because of a hard drive failure, so it needed to be completely reworked and reborn. We faced many challenges along the way, but are very proud of the final result.”
About ERAMNESIA (written by Michael Centrone, Music Journalist):
“The eternal battle of darkness versus light requires a musical medium, and Eramnesia are valiantly answering the call. Comprised of two dynamic solo artists–guitarist Patrick Reilly (Tengger Cavalry, Fellahin Fall) and vocalist Aimee Zambrana (formerly gone by the Van Roxanne moniker)–this newly-formed synth rock duo is channeling emotions from the spiritual battlefield, fiercely holding the line by composing ultra poetic hymns.
Eramnesia’s first single “Alone Under Neon Lights,” showcases Zambrana’s seductive and haunting vocal delivery borne of church choir beginnings and Celtic influences. Her introspective lyrical themes rattle the psyche. Reilly taps his instrumental mastermind and gives the track a dark, retro ambience along with fiery guitar leads. He’s fresh off collaborating with Tom S. Englund (vocalist/guitarist of Evergrey), so he’s no stranger to laying down a vivacious foundation for a passionate voice.
A major goal of their budding project is to share a deep, cathartic experience with listeners, unifying souls under neon lights. In the early stages, their sound is comparable to highly touted acts such as Aviators, Evanescence, and the aforementioned Evergrey. And with their prime members being exceptionally seasoned and intuitive, Eramnesia holds much promise of creating a plethora of visceral sermons.”
Press says:
Eramnesia is currently in the process of recruiting members for a full band, with the goal of hitting the stage this winter.

About AIMEE ZAMBRANA:
Following the death of her best friend and first bandmate, Aimee began performing under the name Van Roxanne in his honor. It was then that she caught the attention of a producer from a large record label who was looking to develop a promising pop artist. After recording a full-length studio album, Aimee took a hiatus from music, as trying to write hit pop songs had made her feel disconnected from her purpose as a songwriter.
