OMEN
Today, midwestern metal act OF VIRTUE have released their brand new full-length album »Omen«, out now worldwide via Arising Empire. 

OF VIRTUE combine an eclectic taste for the melodic, catchy and ethereal with a foundation seeping with  brooding, thick guitars thanks to guitarists Damon Tate & Mike Valadez along with a penchant for multifaceted vocal tonalities shared by vocalists Tyler Ennis & Damon Tate. All of this is brought together by the monstrous rhythm section featuring Ryan Trinh on drums. With this lineup at their disposal, Of Virtue has cemented themselves a diverse and engaging act drawing influence from all types and styles of music to create something that is truly their own.
With their brand new record, »Omen«, that already amassed over 17 million streams on Spotify alone, they have even further expanded on what makes them who they are, and by doing so they bring a warning—tread lightly and base today on yesterday or you may not get to tomorrow.

"This record is 3 years and a whole lifetime in the making.
If we had listened to everyone who told us to give up and move on – or the doubt in our own minds that can creep in then we wouldn’t be standing here today, stronger than ever.
OMEN is a shining beacon that we can change ourselves for the better and attempt to provide that same light for others in the process. We did not choose to exist in this life, everyone’s circumstances and situations are different.
For us, it is a privilege and a responsibility to shine our light onto others, as those artists and kind human beings did for us during our darkest hours. We do not have to be slaves to past decisions, mistakes made, or self sabotage as long as we keep putting one foot in front of the other."
