Amazing debut by Swedish industrial-metal outfit, coming in digipak with exclusive remixes from COMBICHRIST, ALIEN VAMPIRES, NOISUF-X and SERAPHIM SYSTEM! A devastating debut of incredibly assured and polished songwriting and production skill – a heady and complex cocktail which the band’s own description “industrial metal with modern electronic styles” hardly does justice to.
Ethereal female soprano vocals sail sweetly over the epic choruses of an electro-metal onslaught – providing the perfect musical counterpoint to the carnage of heavy riffs and hard electronics seething beneath the surface. 13 superb tracks, “Rave the Reqviem” is in itself a colossal sounding work. So who on Earth could have been asked to help create a bonus section of the same quality? Scandinavian Andy LaPlegua of course – who promptly delivered a COMBICHRIST remix of bone-crushing intensity – Jan L, already behind the mixing desk, who transformed “Exhale” into a NOISUF-X club classic, and ALIEN VAMPIRES…who summon the spirit of mid-90s SCOOTER for a Eurodance workout. SERAPHIM SYSTE, out of North Carolina close the remix section, whose remix completely captures the musical essence of RAVE THE REQVIEM’s own fusion of styles, and belongs among such illustrious company entirely on its own merits.
