Virtue Thrash Metal / Co. Cork
VIRTUE hailed from Grange and Frankfield in Cork. They formed in 1995 and were active until 1997. The line-up consisted of Dave Hackett (TEN POINT RULE) & Ross Farrell on Guitar, Mark Hackett on bass, Mark Hartnett on drums and Alan Murray (SLUDGEHOOK) on vocals. After a handful of gigs in An Phoenix in 1997 they recorded a 3 track demo with Dave Murphy in Blarney in October 1997. The demo never got an official release and the band split up soon after. VIRTUE played their last gig as a four piece with Ross Farrell on drums upstairs in Larry Tompkins bar!
