Virgin Black - Pianissimo (!!!)

[Kerrick]

Many have waited [not so] patiently for the past 10 years to hear Requiem - Pianissimo by gothic metallers Virgin Black and recently they proved how worth the wait it has been!  Wow the beginning of Pianissimo sounds absolutely amazing.  I'm eagerly awaiting news on when Pianissimo will be released in its entirety.

I am looking forward to this album as well.  It has been such a long time that I didn't think it was actually going to happen!  The new song is awesome.

Are these guys trying to get credit for their intelligence?
insted of playing metal and being fast.

New post today on FB:

New era, new name:

Sesca Scaarba

I don't want to read too much into it... but it'd *seem* that in addition to Pianissimo presumably getting released, that if there's a "new era," perhaps we'll also hear some new music!

How do you mean?  Pianissimo is actually meant to be the first part of a trilogy (though the record label decided to release them out of order).  Pianissimo is the softest, Mezzo Forte medium-heavy, and Fortissimo very heavy.

When I saw there was this new song, actually 2 songs, I've freaked out hahahaha
I'm really waiting for this new release. I started revisiting their discography. It's been a long time since I've last listened to.

Well, as it turns out, "order completed" does not mean "order shipped."  I just got this email from the band.  I'm sorry for the confusion...

Dear Kerrick,

A friend of the band has alerted me to some confusion expressed on forums regarding availability of pre-ordered Requiem - Pianissimo CDs, and your forum name appears to be aligned with an order (I apologise if this is incorrect). As stated on the webstore the expected shipping date is November 30. I believe the confusion may have arisen due to the auto-generated wording of the transaction software. "Order completed" in this situation means simply that payment has been processed.

My apologies on behalf of the band, and all involved. It would be much appreciated if you were able to share the clarification with any others that hold concerns.

Thank you for your support of Virgin Black.

Who else got the digital download of Pianissimo?  I've been listening to it basically on repeat.  I expected it to be nothing short of amazing, but this album has somehow managed to exceed even those expectations.

My CD arrived safe and sound.    This is definitely Album Of The Year for me!
