2014 record store day picture disc release. Limited 500copies

Bathory has always been a band that knows how to surprise stylewise as they have been responsible for the first wave of BlackMetal and later on Quorthon single handedly created Viking Metal.After that he came back to Black Metal and even Rock N Roll on hissolo albums. This 1994 release came right after the epicmasterpiece Twilight Of The Gods. Well let me tell you; if you likemany others consider that to be the ultimate Bathory work and stylethis album is not for you. Not by a long way. The cover itself is aconvincing hint already. Not having the beautiful landscapes orpictures like many of his other albums, Requiems cover is a simpleblack and white photo of skulls and bones. And the music is equallysimple. No intricate and majestic compositions here but just alo-fi assault with minimalist thrash-y Death Metal riffs and someof the most aggressive drums ever heard on a Bathory record,courtesy of a crazy drum computer. And that basically is the wholepoint of this album. I dont consider it an awful album like a lotof people do simply because it so over the top with everything.When you need an aggressive album this one is perfect. The riffsare simple but sometimes pretty good, the drumming is perfect forthe whole atmosphere and of course there are some ridiculously fastsolos on the album as well as Quorthons voice that is as rotten asin his best Black Metal days. By far not a horrible album; it justis a bit hard to digest knowing that Bathory also released metalclassics like The Return, Blood, Fire, Death and Hammerheart.
