专辑简介

Once, metal had boundaries. Then, there was IN VIRTUE. In Virtue is a progressive metal band that is TRULY progressive. Not just "prog", not just a technically advanced or stylized band but a progressive band in the purest form of the word: ever-evolving, boundless and vast as the stars. At its core, the elements of melodic power metal and death metal are fused together under extreme heat and pressure to form a solid metal spine. The deft and deadly hands and feet are forged from equal parts heavy riffage, tasteful and expert leads, and thunderous interwoven contrapuntal basslines. Atop the creature's steel shoulders sits the dual heads, one of a firebreathing serpent, the other a mournful siren. But the blood that flows through the veins of this iron beast are a cocktail of elixirs ranging from folk to jazz to country and far beyond. No sound escapes the gravity of the massive supernova that is In Virtue.

EMBRACE THE HORROR is a concept album that explores individual apocalypse scenarios and the reactions of the people experiencing them. It's a global concept with a focus on the personal. The terror of armageddon is only real because of what it means for the people living on Earth, so it's this peek into the life of the average person who looks up one day to see the earth crumbling to dust that makes the album's lyrics so scary.
