Virus (NOR) : Reveals New Video For ''Rogue Fossil''

Poniedziałek 23 Maj 2016 - 21:23:53 by Hellsheimer



In advance of the release of their fourth full-length, Memento Collider, Norwegian avant-garde rockers/recent Karisma Records signees, VIRUS, today issue the official new video accompaniment to the track "Rogue Fossil".

The twisted, animated clip was created by renowned Romanian multi-media artist Costin Chioreanu, who says of his new creation for the pioneering experimental rockers, "I went beyond all my boundaries and I have a feeling I touched a bit of insanity. You know that it's going to be something unique." Having made his mark not only as a graphic artist, but also as a stage artist, musician, animator, and movie maker at a relatively young age, Chioreanu's visual manifestation for VIRUS is the latest in a series of collaborations with artists from Karisma Records, and its sister label Dark Essence Records.

"I'm not sure if you even can adequately prepare someone for VIRUS, any more than you can verbally explain the experience of seeing the Grand Canyon in person for the first time," offers Stereogum of the latest track, further elaborating of "Rogue Fossil," "Its nervous shuffle and up-the-ribcage guitar clatter will immediately inform you that you are now in unfamiliar country, and Costin Chioreanu's nightmare-fuel storybook of a music video deepens the impression. But even [vocalist/guitarist] Czral's [Carl 'Czral' Michael Eide] deadpan croon somehow does not stop 'Rogue Fossil' from immediately registering as a song - not a 'piece' or 'suite' whatever, but a song - and a damn fun one at that. VIRUS' music often evokes dreamy introspection, but 'Rogue Fossil' showcases their springy, sardonic side. It is highly unusual for music this weird to offer such immediate delights."

Set for release on Karisma Records on the 3rd of June, Memento Collider was recorded at the Amper Tone Studios in Oslo and includes a guest appearance from Voivod's Dan Mongrain. It is, without a doubt, an album that demonstrates the true essence of progressive rock. To preorder Momento Collider on CD or vinyl go HERE. For digital orders, go HERE.

For over a decade now, VIRUS has maintained their status as one of the most unique bands to have emerged from Norway's burgeoning progressive music scene. Memento Collider sees the band returning to their original three-piece lineup of Czral on guitars and vocals, Petter "Plenum" Berntsen on bass, and Einar "Einz" Sjursø on drums. Their otherworldly sound, replete with flowing bass lines, experimental riffs, and groovy rhythms, is still the epitome of all that is contained in the definition of "progressive" and "experimental," and with this, their fourth full-length release, VIRUS have come storming back with an album that is also catchy and melodic.
