"Inverted Escape", a brand new song from Norway's avant-garde metallers
VIRUS, can be streamed below. The track comes off the band's upcoming mini-CD,
"Oblivion Clock", which will be released to coincide with their upcoming European tour alongside
VULTURE INDUSTRIES,
KRAKOW and
MONDVOLLAND in December.
Formed in 2000 by guitarist and frontman
Carl-Michael "Czral" Eide (
AURA NOIR,
ULVER,
SATYRICON,
DØDHEIMSGARD,
CADAVER), along with bass player
Petter "Plenum" Berntsen (
AUDIOPAIN) and drummer
Einar "Einz" Sjursø (
LAMENTED SOULS,
INFERNÖ,
BEYOND DAWN),
VIRUS takes the original elements of
Czral's former avant-garde black metal band
VED BUENS ENDE and channels them towards a weirder and less metal direction.
Czral's unique dissonant guitar style and song writing has ensnared listeners the world over. Listeners who have found themselves at times times puzzled, but always fascinated, by the band's three critically acclaimed albums and live performances (as a five-piece).
