Press

“Man, In Virtue totally shattered all of my expectations with "Embrace the Horror". Rating - 95/100”

— Tony Cannella, Femme Metal Webzine

“...In Virtue is probably among the best power metal bands out there, signed or not, In Virtue are true power metal masters.”

— Matt Baggins, Two Guys Metal Reviews

“This album is the complete package for metal fans who are tired of hearing the same thing over and over. Rating - 4.5/5”

— Scott Ward, Sea of Tranquility

“featured Track of the Week at Musikreviews.com”

— musikreviews.com

“Crossing the metallic attack of pure Power Metal with the virtuosity a'la Yngwie Malmsteen style shred and then add in the breakneck speed of Dragonforce, In Virtue is perfect unification of all of that along with having the musical dominating force of one of the best female vocalists I have heard of (The Infamous Ms.C)”

— JD, MetalBite Magazine

“US Power Metal with the purity of some strong and clean female vocals, with strong backing vocals that are growled out like a caged animal, with musicians that know what the hell they are doing.... and all for world domination?? Yep, In Virtue has gotten my attention, and almost as if they have grabbed my short hairs. Taking lessons from Power Metal gods like Overkill, old Metallica and others of that ilk, while never settling to one pigeon-hole or another - In Virtue seemed to have mould it all into their own, add the clean/growl vocals of the amazing Ms C and the vocally-vicious Trey Xavier that seemed to really accent every heavy and raw guitar stroke and drum blast that the rest of the band can give. ”

— JD, MetalBite

“I had to double check that this bunch really are American and not French, the normal purveyors of speedy symphonic power metal...Fans of Fairyland, Kerion, and Wildpath should dreamwalk their way to www.myspace.com/invirtue.”

— Phil, Ravenheart Music

“...it does not matter, because IN VIRTUE prove here that we are dealing with very gifted musicians.”

— Walter Scheurer, Underground Empire

"...In Virtue will not disappoint fans of melodic metal at all."

— Tania Giménez, Queens of Steel Magazine

"...Corrine Reif’s eternally dramatic warbling voice might just be the best thing to happen to me in the past couple of weeks, and the bait works rather well... In short, it’s melodic stuff, ladies and gentlemen. Do not overlook this band."

— Sam Agini, Ultimate Guitar

"...I was suprised to hear a band from NorCal (Northern California) doing the female-fronted, melodic metal thing that you normally only hear from European bands."

— Dave Pirtle, YourMusic Magazine

"...I admire that the band is willing to step outside the most strict of boxes imposed on the style..."

— Noktorn, Encyclopedia Metallum
