Requiem

Description

«Requiem» a word potentially heavy with meaning, but detached from its sacred connotation, invites you to enter a unique musical universe, here that of a band about to take its bow. No, this album is not an auditory epitaph. It is the logical extension of a rich and intense discography. After two decades serving a powerful rock with metallic resonances, which has seen it tread the most beautiful stages of France, from Elysée-Montmartre to Olympia, including the most prestigious festivals, AqME releases its ninth studio album. «Requiem» is a record as coherent as it is contrasted, on which we find all the elements that have forged the identity of the band. After beginnings influenced by American alternative rock, and an evolution that saw metal serve a more visceral purpose, AqME has found a new balance embodied through its last two studio releases. «Requiem» is therefore its high point, a true rock album, both instinctive and elaborate. Organic and poignant, «Requiem» proves to be the most beautiful farewell gift that AqME could give to its fans. Both a perfect summary and ultimate conclusion of a career that ends without tears or regrets, just with the feeling of having given everything, without ever making concessions. Everything we ask of a true rock band.
