Lansing Michigan's OF VIRTUE was formed in early 2009 from ex-members of THE PASSION WITHIN. Bringing a unique mix of technicality and emotion, they seemlessly weave haunting heartfelt melodies and driving progressive hardcore all with the poise and confidence of seasoned veterans while still being young as musicians. Their energetic performances have been winning over fans of all genres and with the release of their 6 song EP titled "To Breathe Again" and full-length album titled "Heartsounds," the sky is the limit for this talented band. Keep an eye on them in 2012!

What started out as five kids playing music just to have fun has
quickly evolved into what we are today, a serious band waiting to take
on any challenge or adversity we're faced with. With numerous shows
under our belt, huge festivals such as Warped Tour 2011 and BLED Fest,
a demo, and a new EP entitled “Sleeping Sickness” released on April
19th, 2011, its safe to say we are here to stay. To leave our mark on
not only the local music scene but expanding to as many areas as
possible. In hopes of bringing something new to metalcore in 2011 and
the future with the aggressiveness and maturity of our music. This is
what we love to do, expect nothing less than us moving forward with
relentless actions and passion in everything that we do.
