REKUIEM Recruits Former FIREWIND Singer For Upcoming Shows
October 29, 2007REKUIEM (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 recruited guest vocalist Chitral "Chity" Somapala (ex-FIREWIND) for its upcoming live dates that will take the group to the end of 2007. According to a press release, "Chity and REKUIEM are very excited to be working together and are looking forward very much to the two dates so far confirmed."
REKUIEM will support GOTTHARD at JB's in Dudley, England on Friday, November 16. They will also perform at the Sheldon Marquee in Birmingham on November 14.
In 1980, REQUIEM issued its 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 last year via Majestic Rock.
