Earlier this year, they released a video for Darkness At Noon from their upcoming album “Permanent Funeral”. In anticipation of their upcoming album, we interviewed frontman and songwriter Jacques Saph. Click play on the video above, and enjoy!

Your forthcoming album, “Permanent Funeral”, will be your third full studio album. One thing I love about Virgin in Veil’s lyrics is that you don’t sugar-coat the problems you see. What difficult topics will you be tackling on Permanent Funeral? Can you share any experiences with us that inspired some of your upcoming songs?

Jacques: Early last year, I finally got my mental health treatment back after being off it for like three years, and it felt like a rebirth. So I sat down and took a look at all those years I've lived under the insidious control of my mental illness. This is, more or less, how I started writing “Permanent Funeral”.

The new album deals a lot with mental disorders and negative thoughts one can find in their own mind. Therefore, I think that “Permanent Funeral” is our darkest release so far.

The instrumentation for the video you released for “Darkness At Noon” off your forthcoming album is a bit more melancholic than what I’ve come to expect from your discography so far. Especially regarding the synths. Can we expect more tracks like that?

Jacques: Definitely. Actually, “Darkness at Noon” is the fastest song on the whole album, and the one that sounds the most like our previous works. Most songs on the new album are slower, with more prominent synths than before, but with that same raw energy we've displayed on the first two albums.

Also, this album has a more ambient and experimental approach, with longer songs, different time signatures and uses many samples and sound textures.
