Virus 7
Virus 7 was another side project led by
Mercyful Fate
guitarist Hank Shermann, and if nothing else it
satisfies the basic requirement of a side project, which is that
it doesn't sound much like the member's main band (what's the
point of forming a side project in the first place if it sounds
just like the main band?)
No,
Sick In The Head bears little similarity to
Mercyful Fate,
instead opting for a more modern, aggro-thrashy power metal sound,
with aggressive, hardcore-ish vocals further distancing this from
anything Fate-ish.
Not really a bad album at all, but not a great one either, as it
seemed to come and go with little fanfare and in retrospect it isn't
a terribly memorable album.
As Shermann side projects go,
Gutrix
was a much better proposition.
Like many side projects, this is presumed to be a one-off and
therefore the band is listed as broken up.
