My Shame by Requiem In White

Künstlerbiographie Requiem In White

Requiem In White Was A Gothic Rock Band Formed In The Summer Of 1985 By Core Members Eric Hammer Lisa Houle And Christopher Walsh In Boston Massachusetts United States. At That Time In Boston There Was No Organized Gothic Scene. Any Band With A Dark Image Had To Fend For Itself. Strangely Enough Requiem In White's Eclectic Dark And Romantic Sound And Look Were Secretly Admired By Even The Most Stubborn Members Of These Various Social Groups. The Band Was Gaining More Fans And Attention Than It Even Knew They Were Being Bootlegged Widely Talked And Written About Imitated And Even Their Humble Demo Tapes Were Being Hunted Down By Fanatical Fans.
By The Time They Relocated To New York City In 1989 There Was A Healthy Gothic Scene And Requiem In White Had Achieved A Level Of Status Which Placed Them At The Forefront Of The Gothic Movement. Their Refusal To Ever Grant An Interview Or Any Kind Of Publicity Created Such An Air Of Mystery Around Them That They Attracted A Loyal Cult Following One That Still Grows To This Day Even After The Break-Up.
By 1994 The Band Was No Longer Playing Little Stink-Holes In The Middle Of Hell Anymore But Was Playing To Thousands Of Ecstatic Fans At Places Like The Limelight And The Ritz Headlining Or Opening Up For Bigger Bands Like Type-O Negative Sex Gang Children And Biohazard. They Were Constantly In The Fanzines On The Internet On Compilations And Bootlegs Videos Stickers And On The Backs Of Fans' Jackets. Theirs Was Truly A "grass Roots" Fame Of The Sort Which History Has Proven To Be The Most Enduring. By Now Lisa And Eric Were Married And At The Height Of Their Requiem In White Career Decided To Break From The Group And Venture Out On Their Own. Their Desire Was To Create A More Focused And Polished Group With The Ability To Maintain Complete Musical And Artistic Control. They First Emerged As The Order Of The NCS Only One Album With A Ritual And Apocalyptic Folk Style Then As Mors Syphilitica In 1995. Bass Player Christopher David Walsh Also Founded A New Gothic Rock Band Named Judith. The Break-Up Was Painful For All And Fans Were Devastated. They Had Seen Requiem In White As The "last Original Band" In A Sea Of "goth Imitators" And "vapid Drum Machine Clone Bands". Requiem In White Had Embodied The Sound And Image Of Their Deepest Romantic Fantasies.
