Virus (prog rock / Germany)

Virus was a short-lived German band that released just two LP’s during their brief existence: ‘Revelation’ (early ‘71) and ‘Thoughts’ (late ‘71). Though they’ve been often tagged as a krautrock band, Virus was actually a hard rock/psych ‘70’s ensemble from the Bielefeld/Westphalia area. 

They also released superb live album ‘Remember’, which was recorded at Koln on April 28, 1973 for WDR Radio show. 



Formed in 1970, Bielefeld, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany and disbanded in 1974
