WHAT THE PRESS ARE SAYING...
[With Mezzo Forte] Virgin Black and their team of maestros have not only re-created the harrowing sounds of ancient rite, they???ve brought it to life in your living room, church bells, incense-scents, black veils and all ??? METAL MANIACS
 
Metal has had classical influences for a while, but it???s rare to find a  full-on hybrid, especially one done this well. ??? OUTBURN

Virgin Black have never been an easy, casual listen because their albums are too demanding insofar as they require nearly undivided attention. Their scope, in short, is wide - ULTIMATE METAL

Masterpieces don???t write themselves, no, masterpieces take time  and indeed this album reflects that. - LUNAR HYPNOSIS

The vibe is much more classical than gothic, and it may be too mellow for some metal fans,
but Virgin Black has composed an epic album. ??? ABOUT.COM

Requiem - Mezzo Forte is a definite statement of an album ??? METAL REVIEWS

Requiem - Mezzo Forte guides its listener on a melancholy journey that delves deep into feelings of depression and dread. ??? JUSTPRESSPLAY.NET

Every second of this album is a decadent, masterful piece of genuinely ravishing genius - BLACK ANGEL PROMOTIONS

Dark, doomy, classical, and way smarter than everything else - THE AQUARIAN
