Virus is a Norwegian avant-garde metal band signed to Jester Records. It was formed in 2000 by Carl-Michael Eide. The band is considered by Czral as a continuation of his previous band Ved Buens Ende because of similar musical elements and an avant garde form of unusual experimentation, although the band has its own characteristic sound.

Virus released their debut, Carheart, in August 2003. The band released their second album The Black Flux on November 10, 2008 through Season of Mist. A third album, The Agent That Shapes the Desert, was released in February 2011. An EP, Oblivion Clock, was released on 1 December 2012.
