Auch auf Vinyl erhältlich! Golden Core is proud to have saved six albums that were previously released in 1980/1981 but have never been rereleased on CD or LP. REQUIEM was a band from the Stuttgart area about whom not much is known. Their only album Steven is a thrilling rollercoaster ride over waves of progressive rock, hard rock and what is now often called proto-metal. It is a style that can only be found in the short period between 1979 and 1981. It is also a missing link between 70s rock and heavy metal. Tommy Clauss was a member of his first band REQUIEM. He was still able to make a musical appearance later on. He first worked with the band REBEL, whose singer was JOHN LAWTON (Uriah Heep, Lucifers Friend), then he founded the much more famous ZAR. So, he was able to shed some light on the band s history for the liner notes being included in the booklet. An unplayed vinyl was overdubbed for this re-release by Patrick Engel (High Roller, Metal Blade a.o.) and subsequently remastered by Neudi (Manilla Road, Trance a.o.). The LP version was mastered separately for vinyl by Vadim Kulin (ZYX Studio). This product will delight several target groups at once. Krautrock lovers, prog fanatics and ultimately also metalheads interested in music history will be enthused by Steven .
