VIRULENCE

BANDINFO:
Who would have thought, that of all bands it´s Boston´s Virulence, who release one of the most surprising and original album in the Grind / Death Metal genre this year? Founded in early 1998 Virulence matured into a very unique and individual band. Since day one the founding members shared the urge to overcome the strict boundaries of the genre. From the very first rehearsal on, the uninspired uniformitiy of the genre has been a thorn in the side of the band´s members.Thus drummer Dan Meath, guitarist Nick Peyer and bassplayer /singer Chris Danecek started to transform their passion into original compositions. The result of their efforts is a very unique style, which does not seem to know any artistic boundaries.Virulence´s songs are bursting with various influences. The spellbound listener will find elements from Hardcore as well as Death Metal together with impressions from various other forms of music. The fascinating Jazz influences are an important and at the same time significantly abstract characteristic. The band´s first release was „The Dormant Strains", a Mini CD, which was entirely self-produced and self-distributed. This Mini CD triggered more interest from all over the world . 1999 brought the band´s fate to a new level. Dave Sheaffer joined as a full time bassplayer.This new line-up gave the quartett a completely new musical perspective. "Avantgard Over-The-Top-Grindcore" with hyperspeed guitarlicks, which above all, shine with non-conform melodies, complemented by brutal rhythm staccati, which are also performed in unbelievable velocity. Now the brand new opus, the full-length debut "A Conflict Scenario", has been completed and it shows how the band juggles with all of the aforementioned musical styles.
