URL = http://myspace.com/mezavirs Meza Virs is a metal band from Singapore. Their most recent album "Vida Sacrificium Meum Est" was released in December 2006.

Hailing from the shores of Singapore, Meza Virs play a diverse blend of dark metal with a symphonic slant: Brutal,yet progressive and alluringly beautiful. Since their inception in mid 2002, the band has evolved from their black metal roots into something altogether different. Grinding, off-kilter rhythms and harsh roars often give way to lush acoustic instrumentation and soaring vocal melodies, only for the aural assault to crash down again when least expected.

The band can hardly be called predictable in any case : In 2003, they made what was probably the first professional-quality music video from a local metal band for the hugely popular song "Tragic Vendetta". They went on to gig intensively,playing alongside bands like Impiety and Abigail to rapturous response, before vanishing suddenly at their peak from the live circuit to concentrate on songwriting and the long, hard process of recording.

Armed with their debut album "Vida Sacrificium Meum Est", Meza Virs made a triumphant return to the stage in 2007 to rapturous response, inciting furious mosh pits and frenetic headbanging with their blistering live shows, while drawing overwhelmingly positive reviews of the album both locally and internationally.

With intense and experimental new material in the works, Meza Virs are set to take their brand of dark symphonic metal to the next level in 2007 and beyond, proudly keeping the flag of Asian extreme metal flying high towards international shores.
