Confirmed the release date of "Fading" – Lyric Video and Pre-Order Link
Due to the current situation we are experiencing, we have decided to postpone the release of the album to May 18th.
We spoke with the Record Label and we agreed that it is possible release the album in May. Let's hope that the things will improve quickly and this our decision counts as a wish to return to normal.
We want to see you again dancing in the clubs, festivals and we can't wait to go back to playing live.
As you know, we're working on the video of the song : "Through The Night", in this difficult period, we had to slow down the editing phase but we count to release it asap.
In the meantime for the launch of the album, we have prepared a lyric video of the song "Still" that you can listen to from the following link :

After appearing on several compilations and after scoring three self-produced EP, in 2011 the band debuts with its first album Innocent Awareness on Af Music label. In June 2012 the band released a new EP of four songs named Promo 2012. In May 2014, for the German label Cold Insanity Music, was released the second full length of Christine Plays Viola entitled Vacua, an ambitious concept album inspired by the series of "Black Paintings" by the great Spanish artist Francisco Goya. Starting from March 2015 the collaboration with the French label Manic Depression begins with the release of a 7" Vinyl EP named The Stars Can't Frighten and the year after with the third album called Spooky Obsessions.
The band returns in 2018 with the E.P. The bonds should be only silver threads in which is contained a great collaboration in the song Solitary Abuse with Miro Sassolini, ex-singer of one of the most iconic Italian band of the 80s, Diaframma.
The new album will be released in the early months of 2020.
Since the beginning of his career the band has played live in Europe (Germany, France, Spain, Portugal, England, Austria, Switzerland, Czech Republic, Poland) sharing the stage with bands like Das Ich, Clan Of Xymox, Chameleons Vox , And Also The Trees, Pink Turns Blue, Modern English, She Past Away, 1919.
Worthy of note is the participation at the prestigious Wave Gotik Treffen in Leipzig in May 2016.
Many of CPV songs are played by different DJs of clubs and radios and some of their songs ended up in compilations and playlists of gothic / darkwave genre.
