Title

The title of the album Memento is Latin for "remember". The band was inspired to choose this name by the movie Memento.[2]

Cover

The band had asked their supporters in July 2016 to sent them pictures of their Onkelz-tattoos, promising them that all pictures would be printed on the CD or the booklet. With that, they wanted to thank their fans for the years of support and show the strong bonds between them and their fans.[3]
