MEMORY TYRANT is Object Unto Earth’s upcoming second release, a four song EP streaming everywhere March 20th, 2026.

A thematic and sonic follow up to last year’s The Grim Village, Memory Tyrant features members from Object Unto Earth’s 2025 live band and brings listeners on a modern prog-rock journey through headbangable riffs, earworm melodies, and heartfelt storytelling.

The EP was co-produced by Zajdman and Seanan McCullough of Helvete Sound, the recording studio of record for some of Portland’s hardest hitting bands.
