Michigan metalcore outfit, Of Virtue, have torn open a new wound, as they've released their brand new single 'The Art Of Love' via Arising Empire today. Following the explosive reception to their previous single 'Death Of The Altar', today's brand new single arrives as Of Virtue's latest chapter in an already commanding year.
Watch 'The Art Of Love' BELOW!
Where 'Death Of The Altar' turned addiction and self-destruction inward, 'The Art Of Love' widens the lens, zeroing in on the quiet, yet deafening, devastation of a connection that consumes more than it gives. Co-written alongside Lee Albrecht (Bilmuri, The Devil Wears Prada, etc) and Evan McKeever (Starset, Koe Wetzel, etc), 'The Art Of Love' and 'Death Of The Altar' continue the band's ongoing focus on the emotional and relational toll that addiction, mental health, and the stigma surrounding both leave in their wake.
On reckoning with everything that love can cost you, vocalist and guitarist Damon Tate shares:
"Sometimes you have songs that embody more of the existential problems we have in the world and other times, you just need that blunt force reminder that we all go through a lot of the same things. Toxicity in relationships will exist until the end of time - scorned lovers that are navigating their own character growth while refusing to let go or move on from abusive situations.
"Love is one of the most powerful and complex emotions we can experience in our lives. The right person makes you levitate above the clouds and can also make you feel like you're living in a nightmare every day. This song brings our self worth, value and how we accept/show that love to ourselves and others into question."
Be sure to stay tuned for more Of Virtue news coming very soon.
