Requiem - The Unexplainable Truth
Departing from I Am Ghost since their disbandment in 2010,
frontman Steven Juliano kept continuing his love for music with the creation of
a new act he then called Requiem for the Dead in 2012, leading to a few
releases including the band's debut album "Always and Forever" (2011)
and follow-up EP "Memories" (2013) with things interchanging
in-between, line-up changes, label reveals, and even a name change going from
Requiem for the Dead to just Requiem.
Now that a new namesake, solid line-up, label to call home,
with everything else in its proper place nothing else left to do but tour and
of course release new music which lead them to release their own debut release
under their new namesake called "The Unexplainable Truth". Over a
course of 14-tracks some of which have been exposed prior release like
"Say Hello to the Devil for Me", the title track "The
Unexplainable Truth", and "Sticks and Stones and Her Lovely
Bones" that brought the song to life via
live performance cut, showcasing the band's identity and style tactics
this time around.
As far as their style tactics and identity to the music, it
is the same as it was beforehand dating back to Requiem for the Dead's releases, except this time it's more intense,
heavy duty, raw-in-your-face material, indicating more screams, heavier
instrumentals brought on by the guitars and drums, with an edge layered atop of
it. If your into what I Am Ghost once was, then
this is it, except like a 2.0 version with similarities ranging from the
Fearless Vampire Killers, AFI, Crown The Empire, and Escape The Fate.
"The Unexplainable Truth" was a follow-up and
debut release just waiting to happen, now that it has done just that, it's a
release that expresses the band as a whole, delivering all there is to offer
from just one listen to multiple listens, it's a release that is loud and proud
identifying to them and you.
