Background
[edit | edit source]Death Requisite is a melodic death metal band which originated in Sarasota, Florida. The band formed in 1999 and broke up 2005. In 2010, they re-formed. Since then they have released three EPs, Prophets of Doom, Second Death, and Threnody. In June 2016, the band signed to Rottweiler Records.[9][10]
The band released their new album, Revisitation, on November 25, 2016,[11] through Rottweiler.[12][13] The album was reviewed by notable musicians including Kevin Tubby of Broken Flesh,[14] Michael Cook of A Hill to Die Upon, and Kelly Shaefer of Atheist.[15][16]
Bassist RTJ left the band 2016 and was unofficially replaced by Gabriel Blackmore, Dave Blackmore's son.[17] Vocalist Vincent St. James departed from the band in 2017.[18] The band later revealed that they were working with new material with Johanna Fincher on soprano vocals.[19] The band released a picture of them with former vocalist St. James, along with Blackmore and another man, revealing that the upcoming album would have five vocalists featured throughout.
