1.raging late Black Flag worship from Virulence, the band that would become Fu Manchu 2. In 1993, the fledgling death metal genre was introduced to jazz with the releases of Pestilence, Atheist, and Cynic. Of course, these bands, along with Exit-13 to name another jazz-grind hybrid, never made it past their introductory offerings of avant-garde jazz metal as the majority of the closeminded metal scene scorned and shunned these bands completely as devoid of brutality, too complex, and too weird. At that time death metal was in its middle stages, and growing slowly in terms of experimination and acceptance of expanding the then fixed death metal boundaries. By 1998, and up to the present day 2001, with the overtly technical death metal acts Gorguts, Monstrosity, and Cryptopsy fusing with technical jazz hardcore such as Dillinger Escape Plan, genres were finally coming more together, with many elements so intertwined within differing styles, that experimentation became a survival necessity in order for a band to expand their boundaries and escape mundane genericy. This thinking has thankfully permeated to almost all branches of underground, extreme music in the recent years as select bands on all fronts are now blending genres, and expanding their horizons and future outlooks in terms of change and well-rounded growth. Enter Boston's Virulence, a band that takes elements of hardcore, grind, and free jazz to the next level of experimental death metal. They could be seen...
