This bizarre Norwegian combo has strong ties to Ved Buens Ende (in fact, the short-lived VBE reformation was largely a reincarnation of Virus, and when that reformation ended, Virus officially re-launched), though the styles of the two bands are somewhat dissimilar. Their sole album Carheart, released in 2003, is as odd as its song titles suggest ("Gum, Meet, Mother", "Kennel Crash Recovery", etc), but while it shares the dissonance and strangeness that VBE had, somehow this album seems a bit more focused and, well, better (or, perhaps, a revisit to that old VBE album is in order). Basically this is a curious form of jazzy art/post-black metal with rather meandering vocals and a sort of lazy experimentalism that is actually refreshing in this age of *-core bludgeoning. A new album, said to resemble VBE as much if not more than Carheart, is in the works.
