REKUIEM Begins Pre-Production On New Album

December 11, 2006

REKUIEM (formerly REQUIEM),the cult NWOBHM band that was at the very start of the British metal movement alongside such names as DIAMOND HEAD and WITCHFINDER GENERAL, has posted the following message on its official web site:

"Pre-production work has started on a brand new REKUIEM album, provisionally titled 'Raise the Dead'. The record is planned for release mid-2007 and will feature around twelve brand new compositions of the heaviest variety, that is assured! The band would like to leave their mark as one of the more classic British metal bands and this record will strive to do just that; we won't be following the latest 'trends' as so many try to do — quite the opposite, we will be trying to create our own new trend in classic British metal for others to follow in the years to come. The band also plan to play live shows from mid-2007 onwards, which will hopefully include a few high-profile festival appearances in the summer/autumn of 2007. Sometime during this period rekuiem also hope to shoot a live DVD for fans who are not able to catch the band live. The DVD will hopefully feature most of the classic tracks from 'Time Will Tell' along with some of the new songs from the planned new studio album. Also keep your eyes peeled for the limited edition release of 'Time Will Tell' on vinyl and REKUIEM digital downloads!"

In 1980, REQUIEM issued their first and last single, the self-financed "Angel of Sin" on Sacrificial Records. The single was backed by "Sacrificial Wanderer" and was issued without a picture sleeve. It is now incredibly rare and somewhat of a collector's item for NWOBHM fanatics.

REKUIEM's debut album, "Time Will Tell", was released earlier in the year via Majestic Rock.
