Has Carl-Michael Eide (Ved Beunds Ende, Virus) ever mentioned Die Kreuzen's October File in an interview? A top-100 album for me. I thought the first Virus album was a derivative of Voi Vod, at least in part, but because of the effortless fluidity and rich tones of the other albums, it had me thinking about October File, which also sounds like Voi Vod. I've never been sure if that was by design or coincidence. Maybe Eide was pulling more from Die Kreuzen than Voi Vod? Maybe neither, but I feel they all share some of the same terrain. The new Virus album is quite good.
