In a posting on the band's official MySpace site, singer Rowan London posts: "After one very interesting show at a very interesting venue (Lit Lounge) I can confirm that Virgin Black is definitely in the U.S. Our impromptu New York show was hot, sweaty, cramped and intense. Unexpect were fantastic, both musically and personality wise, and I bow in respect to those who travelled minutes, hours or many hours at short notice to be there. London and Toronto are next for the impromptu treatment and we look forward to visiting beautiful Canada then getting down and dirty in some nasty clubs."
The band has 3 shows scheduled in Mexico before they start a 2-week tour with Finland's TO/DIE/FOR on June 26th, 2007 at Jaxx in Springfield, VA. Also on the bill is Shatter Messiah and Epicurean. See full tour dates below.
The band released their album 'Requiem - Mezzo Forte' on THE END RECORDS in April of this year and 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.???
