The Virgos sign to Season of Mist

Season of Mist is proud to welcome THE VIRGOS!

Following a decade of setting the standard for hardcore and metal as a member of Bad Seed, Harm’s Way and Nails, vocalist and guitarist Andy Saba banded together with kindred spirits Danni Crockett and Eli Gerrity over an addiction to all things heavy. Channeling thick Sabbathian rhythms, Manowar‘s majesty and the hypnotic ass-shaking of Queens of the Stone Age, the Wilkes-Barre power trio have declared a new age for true heavy metal.

“We decided it was time to let the Apocalyptically loud horses of metal run free again, and shine a light on every color of the Dark Rainbow of Metal“, Saba says.

This year, THE VIRGOS released their third and finest full-length. “Lord Have Mercy is a triumph in multiple heavy musical styles”, writes Swim to the Sound. “Fans of everything from melodic hardcore to goth rock to stoner metal will be able to find something to love here”. While familiar to lovers of Heaven and Hell, Into Glory Ride, Type O Negative and Lucio Fulci, the album’s full-throttled blast of psychedelic pyrotechnics is unlike anything you’ve heard before or since.

“The theme of Lord Have Mercy is that we missed out on the future”, explains Saba. “Utopia isn’t happening. We’re going backwards now. Superstition, devilry, war, plagues, revolution…it’s the Dark Ages again. So let’s get with the times. Medieval times call for Medieval responses. If you want to understand the headspace I was in while writing this album, watch Fulci’s 1983 movie Conquest several dozen times. It’s all in there”.

Dubbed the heaviest band in Pennsylvania, The Virgos are ushering in a new age for true heavy metal.

In 2017, after 10 years of setting the standard for hardcore and metal with Bad Seed, Harm’s Way and Nails, Andy Saba (vocals/guitar) met his spiritual sister in sound, Danni Crockett (vocals/bass). A shared love of off-roading, firearms, Anti-Imperialism and the discography of Bathory gave root to a philosophy and a purpose. The two found another kindred spirit in Eli Gerrity (drums), who joined their pursuit because he truly just wants to fucking rock.

Utterly sick and tired of the posers, The Virgos decided it was time to let the Apocalyptically loud horses of metal run free again and shine a light on every color of the Dark Rainbow of Metal. Following a run of singles, the band vowed to release a new studio album every year, until Jesus comes back, starting with 2023’s Pennsylvania Death Trip. They kept their promise with Road to Noxen before releasing their third and finest full-length offering on August 2025. Lord Have Mercy is a 38-minute cannon blast of full throttle metal, pyrotechnical sounds and psychedelic worship music. The album’s heavy, hard and horny single “Yes” attracted Season of Mist, who re-released the band’s discography ahead of their forthcoming fourth album.

Familiar to lovers of True Heavy Metal, but unlike anything you’ve ever heard before or will again, now is the age of The Virgos, Pennsylvania’s Heaviest Band.
