Virgin Mother's songwriter, vocalist, and multi-instrumentalist, Seb Alvarez, is known to many as the frontman of Chicago-based noisecore band meth. The Virgin Mother project was born during Alvarez’s hospitalization while struggling with addiction.

In Virgin Mother, Alvarez summons moody, murky, thunderous rock. Shades of Sonic Youth, Xiu Xiu, and Converge overlap into music that is equally vulnerable and sinister. No Echo describes it as: “Muscular noise rock that possesses a hypnotic swagger and seethes with intensity. This sounds like a monster with a thousand yard stare.”

"'Parasite' is one of my favorite songs on the record," he says. "It’s one of the darker songs I’ve written, about sexualizing your addiction and letting it consume you."

A US tour with Nerver begins this month.
