With the rise of acts like Stormzy and Skepta, the latter of which just signed Drake to his label BBK, Grime seems to be undergoing a worldwide renaissance. Another release pushing the genre to the forefront comes in the form of brand new LP from veteran Manchester UK group Virus Syndicate. A band boasting 10-years in the game their latest LP,
Symptomatic, hears the group navigate uncharted territory on the entirely in-house produced body of work. Fluidly moving from upbeat comedic numbers like "Gimme The Mic" to raw turmoil on "Chaos & Commotion," the
Symptomatic LP finds the group exploring sensitive subject matter like never before. Just to illustrate how real the group are keeping it this time around, lead music video "Psychopath," a fictional role playing inside the mind of someone mentally unstable, turned out to be so disturbing that the video was banned in Virus' largest market of France.
A stacked LP of silver-tongued lyricism and thought-provoking subjects, Symptomatic proves to be the Syndicate's most vital work to date. you can purchase the LP via iTunes.
