Artist History "Under the infinite HeX of Death" The basis for what was to become the covenant of VIRULENT was formed in the late 90's by guitarist Rene en drummer Maarten, who, in those days, was still taking care of the bassparts and the vocals. The aim of the horde was what it is still today; the creation of extreme deathmetal in it's most ruthless and yet most atmospheric form. Line-up shifts were various until by the end of 1998 guitarist Bert enforced the pact. By lack of a suitable drummer, Maarten decided to pick up the drumsticks to lay torment upon the battery himself. It was in these days that the name VIRULENT emerged from the Ap-Zu, representing all that the band stands for; Intensity, Hostility and the powers of the Occult beyond all measures In the early days of the year 1999, vocalist Jorre left the ill-fated blackmetalband he was previously active in to take his place in the Virulent Order. Around the same time the first complete songs evolved. In May of that same year Virulent exposed themselves to public for the first time. On a metalfest in Utrecht together with bands like Centurian and Ancient Rites. The gig was well received and resulted in the offer from the Skullcrusherlabel to appear on their compilationCD. In june the band recorded 2 songs, namely 'Summer 3796' and 'Fear Us', in the Moscow studios in Utrecht. In the studio the bassparts were played by Maarten while the band was forced to play live without bassist at all. Several gigs were played in this fashion until after some months Edwin was found to take his position in the masses. Now finally completed, Virulent slowly established a position in the underground by playing a lot of gigs troughout the Netherlands with bands like for example Centurian, God Dethroned and Altar. In June in the new millennium Virulent entered the Harrow studios in Losser in order to record their debutMCD entitled; 'Under the HeX of Amdusias'. With their debut finished and a lot of gigs planned ahead, the Virulent HeX is thrusting forwards. Prepared to trample down all of those that dare to stand on their path and to incinerate their souls with an audial frenzy of brutal and occult deathmetal! Stay Brutal & Support the underground!
