Virus is a Norwegian avant-garde metal band formed by multi-instrumentalist Carl-Michael Eide after the disbandment of Ved Buens Ende. The 2003 album Carheart is presented as an unclassifiable, jazzy metal record; early line-up mentioned in reviews includes Petter Berntsen (bass) and Einar Sjurso (drums).

A positive, admiring review presents Virus's Carheart (2003) as an unclassifiable, jazzy take on avant-garde/black metal led by Carl-Michael Eide. The review highlights tight interplay between guitar, bass and drums and praises understated solos and Eide's hoarse/falsetto vocals.

For:Fans of avant-garde/experimental metal, listeners of Fusion-Black Metal and followers of Carl-Michael Eide.

 After the disbandment of the legendary Ved Buens Ende, pioneers of "Fusion-Black Metal" (often mistakenly labeled as Avant-Garde Metal), multi-instrumentalist Carl-Michael Eide, despite being constantly engaged in bands such as Dødheimsgard and Cadaver, decided to form his own side project alongside bassist Petter Berntsen (formerly of Audiopain) and drummer Einar Sjurso (formerly of Beyond Dawn, Infernö), the Virus.
