Requiem in White – Hymnal Of Remembrance

Description

Requiem In White – Hymnal Of Remembrance [CD in Deluxe Triple Gatefold 7′ vinyl sleeve] The band formed in the summer of 1985 by core members Doc and Lisa Hammer and Chris Walsh in Boston, Massachusetts, United States. At that time, in Boston there was no organized gothic scene. Any band with a dark image had to fend for itself. Strangely enough, Requiem in White’s eclectic, dark and romantic sound and look was gaining more fans and attention than it even knew: they were being bootlegged, widely talked and written about, imitated, and even their humble demo tapes were being hunted down by fans. By 1994 the band was playing to thousands of fans at places like the Limelight, CBGB, Danceteria and the Ritz, headlining or opening up for bigger bands like Type-O Negative, Sex Gang Children, Christian Death and Biohazard. They were constantly in the fanzines, on the internet, on compilations and bootlegs, videos, stickers and on the backs of fans’ jackets. Theirs was truly a “grass roots” fame, of the sort which history has proven to be the most enduring. The 1994 break-up was painful for all, and fans were devastated. They had seen Requiem in White as the “last original band” in a sea of “goth imitators” and “vapid drum machine clone bands”. Requiem in White had embodied the sound and image of their deepest romantic fantasies. We are proud to announce that The Circle Music will release for first time “Hymnal of Remembrance” on vinyl, which includes the second album “Of The Want Infinite” (1994) together with the original recordings of the 2 Demos (“World Of Promise/Prodigal Son” (1987) & “Everlasting Piece” (1987)!!! “Hymnal of Remembrance” will also be released on CD in a special Luxurious Triple 7′ gatefold. Don’t lose this masterpiece!
