Review by Blank Sep 26, 2007

referencing Requiem Pour Un Empire, CD, EP, 1st, CD 3405-2

The reason why the numbering is missing on many of the first pressing's CDs can be easily explained: I worked in a record store at the time, and we had ordered a few copies of this release. They arrived with the numbering on the jewelcase (rather than on the inlay itself) and that had been done with a non-permanent felt-tip! One can imagine where the numbering has gone...
Btw.: Quite good release, dark and intense, a highpoint in the Autopsia discography as far as I'm concerned.

Europe after the reign or a soundtrack for the decay of Western civilisation? A slow and mesmeric funeral march. Sustained choral chants, a resonating beat of a dying heart, an attempt at pushing life into arteries. A church bell tolls, the gates open, you pass through and there is no return. Accept it now. Embrace the sublime or wallow in the mire of ruination.
