Requiem has signed a record deal for two albums with Scarlet Records. The recording sessions begin in January of 2005 when drum parts will be recorded at Studio 57. The mixing of Requiem?s third album will be done by Anssi Kippo at Astia Studios in May. The mastering will be done again at Finnvox. The album is scheluded to be released in September 2005. The band will also record some bonus material for the Japanese version.

These are first comments from Requiem vocalist Jouni Nikula after the deal was made "Requiem is very happy to start to work with Scarlet Records. The process of looking for the best label for Requiem has been very, very long. We have negotiated with more than five different labels since the autumn of 2003. It?s nice finally to concentrate on music only!" The future direction of Requiem will be something groundbreaking. Prepare for the finest Requiem album so far...

17.5.2004

We are now negotiating for a record deal for REQUIEM. The deal with SOUND RIOT was for two albums and now, after The Arrival and Mask of Damnation, it?s time to take a step into a whole new level of music. We hope to get these bureaucratic things in order as soon as possible that we can start to record our third album in the near future. Before that, check out a great review by Marco Signore at Gryphonmetal.

12.2.2004

Requiem has parted ways with the keyboard player Henrik Klingenberg. The reason for the departure is that Henrik is too busy with Sonata Arctica. The new keyboard player is Jukka Hanninen from Kokkola, Finland. Requiem played the first gig with Jukka 31.1.2004 in Seinajoki, Finland, and everything totally rocked !! Requiem has never sounded this good. Jukka?s personal information coming soon.
