Michigan melodic-metal band OF VIRTUE has debuted a music video today for their searing new single, ‘Thanks For Nothing’ from their forthcoming album, ‘What Defines You’, via SharpTone Records on May 24th. Fans can pre-order the record now at https://fanlink.to/OfVirtue.
“‘Thanks For Nothing’ touches on the relationships and friendships that we put a lot of energy into and feel left empty in return because the other person gave us nothing positive to hold onto, not even effort. People we put our trust, time and even love into turn out not to be who we thought they were. It can really mess with your head and worse, make you feel worthless. ‘Thanks For Nothing’ is a general middle finger to those people.” – Tyler Ennis (vocals)
OF VIRTUE’s new record, ‘What Defines You’, further establishes the band as one of Michigan’s finest metal bands to emerge in years. The band’s dynamic mix of hardcore, metal and rock along with their positive lyrics for the downtrodden and explosive live performances help separate them from the cluttered scene.
“‘What Defines You’ is a testament to anyone who has been told to give up, been beaten down by life, for those who believe that they aren’t good enough, those who struggle to dream, or see beyond their own circumstances. With ‘What Defines You’, we chose to tell ourselves that we will construct our own future, for better or for worse, through hard work, dedication, and learning from our past.” – OF VIRTUE
