Prophets of Doom - New Music from Death Requisite


Hailing from Sarasota Florida, the current new inception of Death Requisite, re-forged in December 2010, witnesses the return of Dave "Requisite" Blackmore on guitars & William Lee on drums, along with new members, Cuinn Griffin on bass guitar, & Tyrannus on vox. In summer 2011, the band members felt a universal desire to record an album & consequentaly entered SoundSource Recordings in Seminole, Florida; calling upon the help of some old friends with previous & current success & accreditation in the metal industry. Kelly Scott Nunn (former guitarist of Underoath, Maylene & The Sons of Disaster, & Further Seems Forever) handled co-production & engineering, while his brother Al "Asgrim" Nunn (Immanifest, Shadow Society, Yeti, Royal Anguish) provided the album artwork & offered his keyboard talents. The final manifestation of the joined forces is Death Requisite's 3 track mini release,"Prophets of Doom", which is now available as a digital purchase on iTunes, Amazon & various other online music merchants, or it can be purchased directly from DR as a slim-case CD.

For fans of extreme, black, gothic, doom, epic, viking, folk, progressive, brutal death, melodic, technical, symphonic, & orchestral metal genres among others; If you're bored with the core & it's true metal you seek, this is for you!

Death Requisite Returns in 2010


"The first requisite for immortality is death"- Stanislaw Lec
In the land of southwest Florida, a beast is rising out of the swampy abyss. Death Requisite has resurrected from it's 2005 hiatus, returning to invoke a metal revival that seeks to restore the Florida metal scene to it's former glory -May the sound of metal resonate in the death metal capital of Central Florida once more! While not claiming to 're-invent the wheel' musically speaking, Death Requisite remain a unique & original band; rather than conforming or limiting themselves to only one sub-genre of metal, they have morphed the most extreme & potent metal genres together into one cohesive, brutal blend they have self-proclaimed as their own brand called "Hybrid Metal." The outcome is an extremely diverse style, an unrelenting sonic assault on the ears; Organic & primitive, yet still a clean, quality sound consisting of primal, animalistic vocals, furious blast beats nearing 300bpm, a strong, notable bass presence, hauntingly atmospheric & ethereal keyboards, lightning speed tremolo riffage & guitar solo's, technical tapping, hammer-ons, & finally, bass sub-drops & bone-crunching breakdowns that dare to rival the "Core" scene. Metalheads who prefer to exchange the more generic American sound in favor of the more extreme Scandinavian/European & Middle Eastern-sounding metal projects, will likely appreciate what these iron-clad titans from Florida's metal melting pot contribute to keep metal alive. Keep a weather eye on the metal horizon; Death Requisite is a band that will surely appear on your metal radar & should likely find a home in your music library.
