Requiem was a fairly short-lived Finnish band which did pretty standard power metal, on this debut anyway. The mix on it is not great, as vocalist Jouni Nikula struggles to be heard amongst the (quite proficient) instrumentation at times, but he's not terribly good anyway, sounding rather like a very weak and wobbly opera singer. Some of the material is reasonable, like "Revival" and "The Invisible Touch" but, overall,
The Arrival is pretty ordinary.
