RELEASE iNFORMATiON
Virgin BlackТs latest venture, Requiem, promises to be the most challenging and
spectacular of its career. In this groundbreaking endeavour, London and Escarbe
have composed and produced three albums simultaneously. Each album is a
stand-alone work and will be released separately, but the three albums are also
fundamentally interconnected, each linked through recurring musical themes and
motifs.
The first album of the series, RequiemЧPianissimo, exudes a tragic melancholy.
Inspired by the traditions of the Romantic era of classical composition,
Pianissimo is an entirely classical album featuring magnificent orchestral and
choral arrangements, along with tenor, mezzo-soprano and soprano solo voices.
All scores were composed by London and Escarbe, and performed by the Adelaide
Symphony Orchestra. The second of the series, RequiemЧMezzo Forte, further
develops the classical and operatic influences within a more identifiably
СmetalТ framework. Combining traditional metal instrumentation with rich
orchestral arrangements, Mezzo Forte captures the dramatic, dark melodic
sensibility that Virgin Black fans have come to love and respect. The final
album of the series, RequiemЧFortissimo, is a fierce statement of grief, and the
bandТs heaviest work yet. Combining the brutality of death/doom with an
unmistakable sophistication and majesty, Fortissimo concludes the series with a
display of greater savagery and abandon.
When the complete series is played end-to-end, listeners will be treated to an
evolving soundscape of increasing intensity. With a total duration of over two
and a half hours, Requiem is a unique sonic experience. A masterpiece of solemn
grandeur from a band at the forefront of musical innovation.
Enjoy!
