Press Reviews Chronicles of Chaos by: Alex Cantwell (8 out of 10) Well honk my hooter if this doesn't sound a lot like Sacrifice's Soldier of Misfortune, which, if you don't remember, was an early '90s thrash masterpiece. This debut full length from Requiem Mass brings back those same feelings I got when I first heard SoM, and it is really a treat to the ears. Shattered Destiny is comprised of aggressive and somewhat technical thrash that is catchy and flows very well. These guys have even succeeded in making their album flow together well, as far as song sequence goes, which is something that Metallica, Anthrax and Overkill used to be good at, but has since become a forgotten art -- extra points for that alone. Intertwining mosh parts with sleek guitar lines and excellent lead work, and all held together by precise drumming, Requiem Mass have impressed me very much.

Additional Info Damn this band is good...
