Electric Requiem

Epic symphonic prog with a hint of everything else

About Me

As of April 5th, the project changed into a whole band called Electric Requiem

We also dabble in epic concept albums and lengthy songs, some of which even passing the 30 minute mark.

Even though we have started practice, we still need: full time keyboardist, male singer, female singer, and lead guitarists. Any other instruments will also work as we dabble in many different types of sounds and music.

LYRICAL CONTENT: Our lyrical content ranges from anything as mundane as high school or how we feel that day to historical epics like Bismarck's unification of Germany, the Vietnam War, ancient Egypt, the Babylonian Empire, etc. to the supernatural (these are sometimes so far-fetched that they are very difficult to explain)

On September 26, the band decided to change the name to Electric Requiem, after extreme discontent of the previous moniker of Octavarium
