Requiem - Fortissimo by Virgin Black

Undoubtedly the most polarising of Virgin Black's releases, in isolation it is a brutally miserable dirge, unrelenting in its commitment to starving and suffocating the few beauteous components that momentarily shine through. In full context, it is a monolithic counterpoint section in one of the most unique and daring projects in all of heavy music, and a testament to the band's forthrightness and fearless adherence to its vision. Requiem - Fortissimo is a grandiose and regal form of desolation.
