In the booklet to 2018's Vector, Haken offered these words of thanks to fans: "Keep spreading the virus." Virus, the band's eighth album, may share its title with the COVID-19 pandemic gripping the planet, but the album germinated during the writing sessions for Vector and were completed as a conceptual extension.
Songs were penned and arranged on their tour bus after gigs with Devin Townsend.
The concept here is set 20 years after Vector's open-ended conclusion, "A Cell Divides," created the need for a sequel to complete its labyrinthine narrative and character study that simultaneously involved everything from a catatonic protagonist to puzzle boxes to fallen empires.
