Format: CD
Distributor: Super D Independent Distributing
ErasetheVirus is the Industrial Metal project of Californians Chris Navasatis (Vocals), Ben Bordelon (Programming and synthesizers), Alex Slay (Drums), Tim Huston (Guitar), Chris Hardy (Guitar), and Darren Nelson (Synthesizers). ErasetheVirus is self described as shock-metal and a "sick and twisted mind bloom."

ErasetheVirus’s Songs in the Key of Filth is a time machine to the late 90s alternative/metal/industrial movement with sounds reminiscent of Marilyn Manson, Nine Inch Nails, and that Powerman 5000/Rob Zombie team-up, all in the most distorted sense possible. The vocals guitars, and percussion are all dead on for the experience, and the synthesizers/programming provide for lively intros and interludes that make the experience worth hearing.

Songs in the Key of Filth is a heavy, aggressive, high-octane industrial rock experience; one that brings me back to the angst-ridden days of my youth. Listening to this album really inspires the hidden want in me to vandalize or break something. It is obvious that ErasetheVirus is really trying to go somewhere big, and from the sounds presented here, they have a chance. Songs in the Key of Filth will not be the album to make ErasetheVirus famous, but it is a testament to their recording abilities.
