Review:

I used to have Requiem Laus' 3rd demo cassette, For The Ones Who Died, way back in 1996. It was a great demo which I played to death. So can someone please explain to me why has a band of this quality taken until now to release their debut album? So anyway, here we are, 16 years after the band first formed, with only one original member left, Miguel Freitas on guitar and vocals, and the question I have to ask is: was it worth the wait for this largely undiscovered band? The answer is a resounding yes. I'm not sure how the band have progressed over the years, as even though their earlier works, including the For The Ones Who Died demo, are available free to download via their website, I've decided to write this review first and will then immerse myself in their musical history, because I think they've created such a superb debut album that I want this to take the spotlight. The first thing I noticed is that the Requiem Laus of 2008 is a lot heavier than I previously remember. The melodic death structure now includes blackened tones and the intensity levels have been increased significantly. I guess this is still reasonably melodic, but now it packs a bit of a wallop to go with it. And I really like the heavier Requiem Laus. Quality wise, this is on a par with anything I've heard this year. If I didn't know any better, this could quite easily have been released on either Century Media or Nuclear Blast, it really is that good. The songs are full of such energy and passion that Requiem Laus have created a modern album that also fits in perfectly with the era from which they originally came. I'm still such a sucker for the underground releases of the mid 90s, that this album takes me back to that era, yet at the same time, it's a refreshing listen and it surpasses the majority of the current crop of releases. I cannot find enough superlatives to give this album the praise it deserve, so I'll keep it nice and simple. This baby comes highly recommended! [live4metal]
