Melodic and Merciless IN VIRTUE Unveils New Music Video "Desolation Throne"New Album "Age of Legends" Out Nov 2025Los Angeles progressive power metal band In Virtue has dropped another irresistible music video, “Desolation Throne”, in support of their long-awaited concept album "Age of Legends," set to release on November 21st, 2025.“Desolation Throne” is a sonic and emotional powerhouse, channeling the tortured ascent of Sisyphus to a self-made throne of darkness. Vocalist and songwriter Trey Xavier (founder of the website GearGods.net) delivers a commanding performance inspired by Symphony X’s Russell Allen, blending gritty cleans with metalcore chugging reminiscent of early Unearth and Killswitch Engage. The track’s bridge, Trey’s personal favorite moment on the album, dives deep into the character’s emotional insecurity and his destructive response to being misunderstood.The video’s release marks a major milestone in a journey over a decade in the making. "Age of Legends" is more than an album; it’s a cathartic narrative of self-forgiveness, transformation, and rebirth. Inspired by the myth of Sisyphus, the album follows a flawed protagonist seeking redemption not from the gods, but from himself.“It’s about releasing ourselves from guilt and regret, because until you do, you can’t do any good in the world, for yourself or anyone else,” explains Trey.Musically, "Age of Legends" delivers a unified emotional journey, driven by thunderous riffs, infectious grooves, and cinematic layers that heighten the story’s most intense moments, not for show, but for substance. In Virtue’s signature sound, heavy, fast, melodic, catchy, and groovy, draws from influences like Soilwork, Amaranthe, Shinedown, Symphony X, and Sonata Arctica, yet carves out its own identity beyond genre conventions.Born from a passion for power metal and a rejection of its fantasy tropes, In Virtue creates music rooted in real-world emotion, personal philosophy, and raw vulnerability.“This album is the full realization of our sound. It’s a concept piece that casual listeners can vibe with, but those who dig deeper will find a flawed character fighting for self-forgiveness. It’s immersive, cohesive, and meant to be experienced start to finish, with headphones on and the world tuned out,” says frontman Trey.The album’s artwork, created by Niklas Sundin (formerly of Dark Tranquillity), depicts Sisyphus breaking free from his eternal punishment, a visual metaphor for the album’s core theme of self-liberation.Fans can immerse themselves in the world of In Virtue through the “Desolation Throne” video, an uncompromising glimpse into the soul of a band that refuses to play by the rules.Watch the music video via its premiere on MetalInsider HERE. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXv06-7rg2wClick Here to Subscribe to The Adventures of Pipeman for PERKS, BONUS Content & FREE GIVEWAYS!
