REKUIEM Announce New Lineup
July 23, 2007, 17 years ago
Classic NWOBHM act REKUIEM (formerly known as REQUIEM) check in with the following update:
"At last Rekuiem can proudly announce the new line up to take us into the next chapter of rekuiem studio recording and live work. The eagerly awaited new drummer is Paul Rodgers, the band call him 'Rimmer'! He's previously worked with EDEN, ARK and PREDATOR and is a great acquisition to the Rekuiem ranks. Rekuiem have also recruited a keyboard player, namely Neil 'Leads' Taylor, previously having played with some of the NWOBHM Greats such as cloven hoof, 'Leads' is another fantastic addition to the ranks and the eerie haunting keyboard sounds that 'Leads' creates really add to the 'sound of doom' that the cult band Rekuiem are so well known for. With the new line up now in place, Rekuiem now plan to record the new album to be entitled 'raise the dead' hopefully over the coming months and certainly to take the new line up out on the road around November/December this year. Gigs are currently being planned and will be announced shortly!
