Virus needs a couple of guitars a bass and drums to make Avantgarde Metal... learn kids.

As for the album... It's a great example of avant-garde metal. Not akin to aggressive kind of avant-garde like Unexpect that makes you lose your mind quickly but rather a kind that gradually rids you of your sanity.

And i too am not on the unexpect side of the genre

Posts: 889 Written by InnerSelf on 23.05.2013 at 22:25 I know, and you are surely right. Personally I like Unexpect and I like Virus as well as Sigh, Diablo Swing Orchestra, Ephel Duath, Atrox and tons of various avant-garde bands because there is plenty of diversity inside the genre, and I'm never bored.

Pretty nice avantgarde. Sounds like a softer version (both on vocals and instruments) of DSO
