Band Bio
REQUIEM was formed by Brutal Berry in Las Vegas Nevada in 1991 (Nov/Dec) and began as a 3 piece, 2 guitars and drums. They remained a three piece until 1993, then added a bassist. Requiem stayed as a 4 man group until 1999. Dropped 1 guitarist and became a 3 piece again.
Requiem began touring in 1995. Their first touring roadshows were in Bullhead City Arizona, St. George Utah, Albuquerque New Mexico, and California. In 1997, Requiem toured with their "Grave" album and pressed its sales. They next played at the Expo of the Extreme in Chicago Illinois.
Requiem participated in a battle of the unsigned bands soon after and won 1st prize, a free recording of their next album, "Dawn of Souls". 5 months later while still on the Grave tour, Requiem recorded yet another album, "Christ Has Risen". Once home in Vegas from the Grave Tour, Paul Speckmann of MASTER booked Requiem another tour.
On this next tour, Requiem released their 5th album, "U$$A" (United States of a Socialist America). With this release they then did a mini tour with LEPROSY (Mexico). Also a few shows in Las Vegas, 5 shows in California, 1 show in Chicago (plus a few shows with JOHNNY VOMIT in Chicago). Also played with IMMORAL INTENT (Bellingham Washington), KRABATHOR (USA and Mexico), DISGORGE (Mexico), ANARCHUS (Mexico), and STONEAGE (El Paso Texas).
To this date, REQUIEM has over 285 Touring Roadshows coast to coast in the US, 25 shows all throughout Mexico, and 5 shows in Peru and South America. It is there that they recorded Volume 6 with John Capcha from HADEZ, the oldest Peruvian metal band.
In September 2001, just a couple of days after the terrorist attacks, Requiem was invited by Commander Fidel Castro to play and tour in Cuba (He liked the U$$A Cover art, no joke!). Requiem was, and still I believe IS, the ONLY American Metal band to have ever been able to play on Cuban soil. Unfortunately, due to the promoters never holding up their end of the bargain, Requiem never made it much farther than the Cuban airport. People all over Cuba were awaiting this American metal band’s tour to their country, it was a very big deal over there (But, we were in La Habana anyway. a very nice country and very nice people!).
Lock The Dead (Album 7, 11-26-02) and Retrowar (Album 8) have been recorded and pressed, but never really promoted or even released. Possibly the best music Requiem has written. so far. Although it can be listened to on this site or purchased at anytime.
After band members leaving, and all the other troubles that come in the music industry, Requiem was burning out. Although there was hope. Tim Askin (Technical Tim aka the Vizard), long time friend of the band and also a bass player, joined Brutal Berry and began working on more recent material. After many years of no shows and no opportunities because of a lack of a drummer, and dedication, Brutal Berry stumbled upon a young metal drummer from Missouri who moved to Vegas named Johnnie. In December of 2007 Requiem was officially reformed and on a warpath once again.
--*We have a played more shows recently, and have more to come, many more. Unfortunately, Technical Tim had to take time away from music to get his personal life in order. Although, Guitar player and longtime metalhead and childhood friend of Berrys, Jeff Samson has now joined Requiem. He is not picking up a Guitar though, he is picking up a Bass!
New material has been written in the past months for our upcoming 9th Album. Be prepared, to meet...your...maker.............
