Pennsylvania’s heaviest band The Virgos recently signed with Season Of Mist!

Season Of Mist is proud to welcome The Virgos!

Following a decade of setting the standard for hardcore and metal as a member of Bad Seed, Harm’s Way and Nails, vocalist and guitarist Andy Saba banded together with kindred spirits Danni Crockett and Eli Gerrity over an addiction to all things heavy. Channeling thick Sabbathian rhythms, Manowar’s majesty and the hypnotic ass-shaking of Queens Of The Stone Age, the Wilkes-Barre power trio have declared a new age for true heavy metal.

“We decided it was time to let the Apocalyptically loud horses of metal run free again, and shine a light on every color of the Dark Rainbow of Metal,” Saba says.

Last year, The Virgos released their third and finest full-length. “»Lord Have Mercy« is a triumph in multiple heavy musical styles,” writes Swim To The Sound. “Fans of everything from melodic hardcore to goth rock to stoner metal will be able to find something to love here.” While familiar to lovers of »Heaven And Hell«, »Into Glory Ride«, Type O Negative and Lucio Fulci, the album’s full-throttled blast of psychedelic pyrotechnics is unlike anything you’ve heard before or since.

“The theme of »Lord Have Mercy« is that we missed out on the future,” explains Saba. “Utopia isn’t happening. We’re going backwards now. Superstition, devilry, war, plagues, revolution…it’s the Dark Ages again. So let’s get with the times. Medieval times call for Medieval responses. If you want to understand the headspace I was in while writing this album, watch Fulci’s 1983 movie Conquest several dozen times. It’s all in there.”

Watch the video for »Yes«, the heavy, hard and horny single from »Lord Have Mercy« on the Season Of Mist YouTube channel.

The video for was directed by Kyle Barber.
