Starting in the early 90's with the name of “Requiem”, the choice of the name for this Portuguese metal band was in a way of respect towards their preferred composer, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. (Name, that later on was changed to “Requiem Laus”, for registering purposes and also, the ironical, existence of more than a few bands with the same name.) Choice made by the good spirits of Miguel Freitas, Marcelo Freitas, also Bruno Silva and Tony Figueira, being this the first line-up that took the name of the band further by recording its music and performing them to a greater extent. Their first sign was in the year of 1994 with the recording of their first demo tape “ Life Fading Existence ”, and then, a new demo tape was recorded by the year of 1996 “ For the Ones Who Died ”, now with Oscar Pereira on the bass substituting Tony Figueira. This demo was recorded and produced by Luis Barros at the Rec. n' Roll Studios. Demo that was in fact considered a “cult demo” in the Portuguese metal scenario at the time, considering that it was in several underground compilations of worldwide distribution, receiving overriding reviews - also worldwide -, and acquiring the attention of big labels to this band's Melodic Death Metal sound. The contract proposals, which were made to the band at the time, were noticed as the usual approach of a label that wants to induce an underground band to a non rewarding deal to the band's purposes. Therefore no attempt of deal was taken onwards. In 1997 there was a line-up change in the band: Dani Pereira became the guitarist in place of Bruno Silva, Ricardo Fernandes in the place of the bassist Oscar Pereira and Jorge Castro, echoed behind the keyboards. By 1999 a re-edition of the demo tape “For the Ones Who Died” was turned into a CD format, providing momentum for several live performances throughout Portugal. On the year of 2000, Requiem Laus finally marched into a new stage of their commitment with music, and signed up with Angra Music Agency for management and international booking. The band released the MCD “Trough Aeons” with new features: broadcasting an interactive structure containing 2 Live Bootleg Videos, Photo Album and Biography. With all things in shape, things started to silhouette a greater outlook for the band’s future. So, at this same year, Requiem Laus performed throughout Portugal for a period of 2 years, playing significant concerts with Avulsed (SP), and several Portuguese local bands as, Mysterium, Cyborium, Kormoss, De Profundis, Humanart, and so on. Also during this period, that Requiem Laus mostly reign as being the main act, Jorge Castro left the band because different points of view. In 2005, after an earned “praised rest”, and again, with a different line-up (maintaining only one original member of the band) there were Miguel Freitas, leading the band's vocals and main guitar, Dani Pereira, holding the second guitar, Ricardo Fernandes, still on the bass and a new acquisition for the drums, Luis Barreto, although not for long since he had to leave the band due to personal issues. Still he stayed long enough to experience one concert in S.Miguel (Azores - Portugal) and two in Funchal (Madeira – Portugal). 2006 the band had a new acquisition, drummer Jorge de Abreu, and released a new promo CD that includes 5 songs and 1 interactive structure with info regarding the band, a photo gallery and 2 videos. This promo cd had a great response from the media worldwide, having great reviews. Unfortunally the band wasnt able to do live shows due to the lack of permanent drummer. Still we appeared on the 18th of March in Rocks Club (Madeira) along with Karnak Seti and Siamese Cancer. And also unleash the new material live at SWR Fest 2006 in Barroselas on the 29th of April ( along with bands as Bolt Thrower, God Dethroned, Hate, Carpathian Forest, Keep of Kalessin, Obtest, Theriomorphic, The Ransack... ) we entered the studio on december 2006, for the recording of the new tracks for our first full length cd...
