Australia’s Virgin Black recently released the second album (and final part) of their Requiem trilogy, Requiem – Fortissimo, and it’s been getting them a lot of attention… and deservedly so (read our review here). Even if it weren’t part of an ambitious, ongoing epic of a project, it would still be an excellent funeral dirge of a doom metal album, a monstrous work worthy of your attention and respect.
I recently got to e-mail some questions to Virgin Black guitarist/co-vocalist Samantha Escarbe. After the jump, read Samantha’s thoughts on the songwriting process for these three mammoth albums, the decision to release the albums out of order, religion, and more.
