Swiss-Italian progressive metal masters VIRTUAL SYMMETRY celebrate the first anniversary of the latest studio album “Exoverse” releasing the live album “EXOVERSE Live – Out Of The Shadow” on June 30th 2021.
The band has just revealed the live video for the second single “XI”. “‘XI’ is one of the first songs we recorded for our last album ‘Exoverse’. It represents the begin of the main character’s inner journey. It’s also one of the longest and most articulate tracks, musically and vocally speaking”, explain VIRTUAL SYMMETRY.
The album was recorded at the end of October 2020 during the show at Teatro Plaza in Mendrisio (Switzerland) along with several guests as backing singers, two choirgirls and a string trio. That exciting performance was mixed by Federico Pennazzato (SECRET SPHERE). The cover artwork was created by Gustavo Sazes (ANGRA, AMARANTHE, JAMES LABRIE).
