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, âAlone Under Neon Lights,â was met with positive reception upon itsâ release in January 2023, and listeners have been enthusiastically anticipating their next single ever since.
 Eramnesiaâs second single, âEntropy,â reveals a deeper and darker side of the duoâs style.
Pat Reillyâs heavy metal roots are more apparent in this song, and Aimee Zambranaâs lyrics take a step over into the metaphysical, peeling back a layer only to reveal more mystery.
 ââEntropy’ describes the moment of fully surrendering to transformation- allowing the chaos between death and rebirth to unfold, and re-emerging more powerful and authentic than ever before,â says Aimee Zambrana.
Pat Reilly states, âIronically, 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.â Â
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 artistsâguitarist Patrick Reilly (Tengger Cavalry, Fellahin Fall) and vocalist Aimee Zambrana (formerly gone by the Van Roxanne moniker)âthis 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 âAlone Under Neon Lights,â showcases Zambranaâs 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. Heâs fresh off collaborating with Tom S. Englund (vocalist/guitarist of Evergrey), so heâs 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.

Although Pat’s musical passions lie in the metal genre, his songwriting is quite diverse, ranging from classically composed intros to full-fledged groove-based metal compositions. Many listeners may consider Pat a “Shredder” but he shies from the term as he prides himself on the emotional element of songwriting and guitar playing, not so much on being purposely technical. Pat’s songwriting philosophy is “Write for the song not for the ego”.
On the touring side of music, Pat’s experience is fairly extensive. He has toured with bands such as Tengger Cavalry, Through the Discipline, Vajra, Fellahin Fall and progressive metal band Awaken, playing several hundred shows throughout the United States, Canada, Europe, and most notably performing at New York City’s prestigious Carnegie Hall.

About AIMEE ZAMBRANA:
 Aimee Zambrana is a vocalist and songwriter from the Bronx, New York.Â
 The daughter of a drummer, Aimee got a taste of the musician lifestyle from a very young age. She began writing and recording her own songs at 13, and started performing around the city with her acoustic guitar soon after. Her first paying gigs were at memorials and funerals. Heavily influenced by Celtic singers such as Enya and Moya Brennan, Aimeeâs haunting and moody style of singing made her a popular choice for somber engagements. She sings in a mezzo-soprano range, alternating between sultry crooning and powerful belts. Delicate layered harmonies are a signature in her recordings.
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.
 During the pandemic, Aimee returned to singing and writing as a source of comfort and catharsis. She met guitarist and songwriter Pat Reilly in 2022. They quickly began creating impactful tunes together, in which Aimeeâs introspective writing style was given free space to roam against the backdrop of Patâs vast compositions. Pat Reilly and Aimee Zambrana have now formed the band Eramnesia, a dark synth-rock duo that plays with themes of identity, the afterlife, and all things metaphysical.
