VIRGIN BLACK touring North America in June/July
|
Australia's symphonic/gothic/classical act VIRGIN BLACK will tour North America in June and July this year.
In a posting from Virgin Black singer/songwriter Rowan London, he says, “It's been four years since our minor but magnificent
U.S. tour with Agalloch and Antimatter and it seems it’s long overdue for Virgin Black to return. This time we shall not be so stingy
with dates and will visit the US, Canada and Mexico. Beginning with shows in Canada and the U.S. Northeast in mid-June, we’ll then
play three shows in Mexico before the band joins up with Finland’s To/Die/For on June 26th and subsequently visit many a locale."
Confirmed dates/venues will be announced in the coming weeks
The band’s latest album, titled ‘Requiem - Mezzo Forte’ (on THE END RECORDS), is part of the ‘Requiem’ trilogy and will be the first installment (the 2nd of the trilogy) released. The album will be followed later on this year by ‘Requiem – Pianissimo’ and ‘Requiem – Fortissimo.’
About the ‘Requiem’ trilogy, London says, “Well, I feel like I’ve become a completely non-functioning part of society over the past two years. Requiem has been the most agonizingly difficult experience I have ever faced. On one side are the logistics of three albums, two and a half hours of music, and financing it all (orchestra included). The other side is the emotional toll; the far too many times I fell in a heap feeling that it would be impossible to succeed and coming oh so close to completely giving up the project. I take many a scar from this process and may never experience this kind of beautiful pain again.”
