Ultimately hailing from the bay area, Viral Sun has emerged with their self titled debut LP, carving their unique path through the landscape of hardcore and heavy punk rock. Formed by members of renowned bands such as Capsule and Torche, Viral Sun is not merely a supergroup but a defiant force seeking to dismantle the structural norms that have long governed modern rock and roll. With an arsenal of genre-spanning influences, Viral Sun's journey begins with a shared vision among its members and a desire to channel they vast musical backgrounds into something extraordinary. Drawing inspiration from the rebellious ethos of punk, the band cleverly intertwines elements of heavy metal, hardcore and post-punk, creating a mosaic, reflecting a love for diverse sounds while refusing to be pigeonholed.
