Ambiguous/Mysterious Virgin Black "News"

Virgin Black has been completely silent for years now, never releasing the final (technically first) album in their Requiem trilogy which has left many of us fans quite sad.  But today, on their Facebook page, they posted the below two pictures.  The final digit of the end year is mysteriously missing...

Interesting...!  Looking forward to new material...

I saw this too.  I just HOPE they finish Requiem before they fill in that last digit.

All the songs in spotify are erased... all the posts in official facebook page (minus this 2) too...  

Something really strange is on the air.

Funny, just checked out their page the other day...

I'd love to hear more music from them, but I'm not holding my breath.

It'd appear Virgin Black's recent facebook posts are a countdown of sorts...  At least, that's the hope.  Miscellaneous pictures related to the band are being posted with the years that these pictures came from, starting in 1993 and slowly getting more and more recent...  I think everyone is holding their breath for "2018"!*

*Except Messiaen77, he's not holding his breath.  

I had just checked their page maybe 2 weeks ago as well. Interesting to see this after years of the sibling running the page saying nothing was on the horizon but they'd let us know.

Thanks for these updates. I wouldn't have checked the page for another 6 months I bet.

Well, we're up to 2003 now...  Getting closer to 2018 or 2019!

Well they just posted 2008 which is the last year of any activity (release of Fortissimo and tour) so the fans are all eagerly awaiting the next post which will hopefully yield some good news!

What!? Who!? Why!?

Oh man I am really giddy right now!  Requiem - Mezzo Forte is probably my favorite album of all time.  I - along with many other fans - have been waiting for Pianissimo for the last 10 YEARS.  Who knows if it'll ever be released or not, but just the fact that they're showing signs of life is reason enough for celebration!

I dunno.  That post really says nothing.

New post today on FB:

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!
