    Observing Virgin Black in our current-day musical climate reveals an entity that endures as uniquely intrepid. Rewind to the 1990s, and that uniqueness becomes blindingly apparent amid the vastly more rigid cultural and musical standards of the time. The history of Virgin Black dates back to 1993 when guitarist Sesca Scaarba begun piecing together music that would both go on to form the early works of the band, and also inspire the ever ambitious and ground-breaking project that it became. By the release of 1995's self-titled demo cassette there had been the crucial addition of fellow-composer, singer, and counterpart to the iconic duo, Rowan London. The demo laid a foundation of rich doom complimented by mournfully stirring guitar and vocal melodies. The band's debut album, Sombre Romantic, was fashioned without a fleeting glance at what the long-established genres it engaged would have expected of it. An incredibly ambitious work, it thrust together doom, classical, opera, gothic and industrial elements in a way that somehow still allowed for a seamless stream of signature, cohesive darkness. Over two decades later, and now with five studio albums complete, the path is clear to look toward to future prospects while concurrently reflecting on a band and a catalogue that has long-defied the constraints that so often inhibit artists.
