In Virtue: “Age of Legends” Digital and CD and LP 21st November 2025 CMM Promotions / Orchard. USA Pop / Rock / Progressive / Metal band.
I was very intrigued by this amazing illustration on the cover. A strong work that led you to imagine you are going to dive into another world. A man searching to set free from the darkness to the light. The album title being very small, you can imagine how long it can take you to get into this album.
After the first listen, I was skeptical. Each song being like many singles stuck as an album. If you’ve heard the tracks one by one on digital platforms, you may not realise this. I’m used to have songs that leads to somewhere as an album. For In Virtue, third album. I’m lost into words.
More like a project, it has many guests, changing the usual one music style album. Melodies, growls, atmospheres, everything from many music styles combined into one. Diverse mood, taking you to many places.
Have a taste:
Influences: Offsprings, Muse, Metallica, Heat, Amaranthe, Megadeth, Symphony X, Angra, Queen, Billy Idol, and many more.
Six years in the making! Pretty rare for an album. That can explain the variety of the whole album.
Charlotte Wessels, Dave Davidson(Revocation), Chaney Crabb (Entheos), are giving a different twist to the compositions. In virtue is like Metallica, bending the metal music into pop/rock to gather more fans out of the box. The new generation is more opened than the eighties. They will hit hard the charts, radio, and TV shows. Fourteen tracks to send you in a journey you will, as the cover, full of montains cliffs and lands you ever been with an album.
The lapse to finish this album is due to one person, sometimes some individuals are the reason why some bands can’t make it happen. In Virtue is a pool of talented musicians and in other fields such as web developpers. They managed to pull out this album with an amazing work, giving it a very professional sound. Take the journey from Trey Xavier‘s mind and try not to get lost in despair.
A beautiful album that will speak to many, 90/100.
