REQUIEM AETERNAM: 'Purposiveness' Video Released

January 8, 2010

"Purposiveness", the new video from melodic black metallers REQUIEM AETERNAM — originally from Uruguay but most recently based in Tampa Bay, Florida — can be viewed below. The track comes off the band's third album, "Destiny-Man". Around February/March 2010, the band will announce the official release date for the effort and the label that will be responsible for issuing the CD.

"Destiny-Man" was mastered in March 2009 at Morrisound Recording in Tampa. The album is set to feature "ten tracks — 50 minutes of anguish," according to the band.

The ten tracks on "Destiny-Man" are inspired — not based — on ten classical composers, including Takemitsu, Beethoven, Mozart, Piazzolla, Debussy, Rachmaninoff, Gershwin, Chopin, Paganini and Villa-Lobos.

Commented guitarist/vocalist Jose Romero Sum: "This [is] our most ambitious work to date. I have written more music for this recording than for both former albums put together. This is] our uppermost attempt to consolidate a new style within metal music: philosophical metal."

"Destiny-Man" track listing:

01. Exordium
02. Destiny-Man
03. Requiem Aeternam
04. Freewill
05. Existence
06. Vying
07. Purposiveness
08. Ser (sung in Spanish)
09. Perseverance
10. Epitaph

REQUIEM AETERNAM's last album, "Philosopher", was released in North America in December 2004 via ICorp. "Philosopher" was recorded at Big Blue Meenie studios and features a guest appearance by drummer Alex Hernández (IMMOLATION).
