A Swedish heavy metal band that emerged from the New Wave of Traditional Heavy Metal during the 2010s. Deeply rooted in the genre's classic sound, Viral has managed to forge a unique style all their own. The band skillfully blends old and new influences while always staying true to the traditional heavy metal heart.

Viral's music is characterized by strong melodies, catchy riffs, and an energetic performance. With their self-released 2021 album, mixed by renowned producer Niels Nielsen (In Flames, Ghost, Dead Soul, etc.), the band made a strong impression on both fans and critics.
