Everything started in a distant and cold night of the year MMDCCLIII Ab Urbe Condita (2000 a.C.) with the name of Black
Altar. This was destined to be one-man-band formed by Saethius only. Months later, after some raw primary songs had been
composed and (badly) recorded, he himself decides to add members to the band, and to finally change the name of it to
Infernal Requiem. The band in few months was overcharged of new individuals (Spinal Nerve, Gargamel, Igor, Cassius,
Deimos, Nasser, Koresh and Medusa) and ready to record a debut single that was going to be entitled as "Novem Portae" (The
Nine Gates). So it was. In summer of the next year MMDCCLIV Ab Urbe Condita (2001 a.C.) the single/demo was recorded
successfully, even though it had some technical mistakes caused by recording and mixing errors. In the meanwhile Medusa
was expelled due to some troubles reguarding her ability to vocalize in tune with the rest of the ensemble. The cd was
never released but through the internet as a cut version first and an entire one later, though it was to be included in
the next release destined to be a five tracks mcd: "(The) Pantheon" finally released in MMDCCLVII ab U.c. (2004 a.C.)
after a long process that took about two years. During these two years, a lot of things changed in the inside of the band:
Koresh left the band after the recording of "Sombras�?" so Diabolus joined replacing him. He did not last much neither,
for he left the band after the recording of "Midnights Opera" rejoining a year later as guitarrist, so the vocals of the
remaining tracks were recorded by Saethius. As Nasser had left the band long ago (weeks before the recording of "Novem
Portae") a guest violinist was also invited to take part in Pantheon.
The rest has yet to be... |
