Swiss-Italian progressive metal masters VIRTUAL SYMMETRY celebrate the first anniversary of the latest studio album “Exoverse” releasing the live album “EXOVERSE Live – Out Of The Shadow” on June 30th 2021.
The band has just revealed the live video for the second single “XI”. “‘XI’ is one of the first songs we recorded for our last album ‘Exoverse’. It represents the begin of the main character’s inner journey. It’s also one of the longest and most articulate tracks, musically and vocally speaking”, explain VIRTUAL SYMMETRY.
