Virus
Virus was formed in Oslo, Norway in 2000 by Carl-Michael Eide, a veteran of the avant-garde black metal project Ved Buens Ende, alongside bassist Petter Berntsen and drummer Einar Sjurso. The band's sound occupied an unusual space between progressive rock, post-punk, and extreme metal, drawing frequent comparisons to Voivod and Talking Heads, and released four studio albums between 2003 and 2016 through Season of Mist and Karisma Records. The band dissolved in 2018.
