What kind of music?

Venus Virus' moody and ambient music is best described as Darkwave Performance. The vocals blend simple melodies with the raw power of spoken word creating a magical, bewitching sound. This is contrasted with a synthethized backdrop of layered texture. Its' mood compliments the vocals, moving the listener as each song progresses. The result is a dramatic, exhilirating experience not to be missed.
