Swiss death metallers REQUIEM re-enterws Stage One Studio in Buehne/Borgentreich, Germany on December 6th and will remain there until December 23rd with acclaimed producer Andy Classen (LEGION OF THE DAMNED, DEW-SCENTED, DISBELIEF, KRISIUN and many more), recording their new album, Within Darkened Disorder.

The band have issued Studio Diary Part 1, which reads as follows: "After the fantastic show in Markkleeberg (Leipzig, Germany) last Saturday, December 4 Reto (drums) went directly to Andy Classen's Stage One Studio building up his new drumkit (S.C.S. Custom Drums Lucerne Switzerland) and changing drum heads. First evening prior to the actual recording process Reto and Andy laid down all click tracks for all new songs in order to amke sure that we'll find our way throughout all the new arrangements. This one will be killer that's for sure but I guess you'll read the actual word killer far more often the next couple of days.

Today Reto did drum tracks for 3 new songs of our new album, Within Darkened Disorder. As we spoke all went well so far as expected. So there's more to tell tomorrow when they defined the actual and definite drum sound to appear on the record.

That's all for now 'til tomorrow."

The new album will be released in early 2011 via an undisclosed German label. Within Darkened Disorder will feature the following ten tracks:

'Echoes Of War'

'Feed The Greed'

'The Plague Without A Face'

'I Am Legion'

'Solemn Sacrifice'

'Within Darkened Disorder'

'Vicious Deception'

'Purified In Flames'

'Symbol Of Nine'

'Omnivore'

The cover artwork was created by Dan Seagrave (MORBID ANGEL, MALEVOLENT CREATION, SUFFOCATION,PESTILENCE, BENEDICTION and many more).

Vocalist Michi Kuster left Requiem in February this year "due to family reasons." The band has since decided to carry on with a new line-up.
