Venenum is a Bavarian death metal band from Schwabach , which was founded in 2008.

history

The band was formed in 2008 after the Excoriate group broke up . Until the end of 2010, the band spent almost all their time completing their line-up. Initially the Excoriate drummer Sebastian Engelhardt occupied this position at Venenum, at the end of 2010 he was replaced by FJL. In the same year, the bassist and singer FSA also joined. The band recorded their first self-titled EP in their own rehearsal room before sending the material to Patrick W. "AOD" Engel , who mixed and mastered it. The recordings had dragged on because the members sometimes lived quite far apart. For example, FSA lived in Austria . The EP was released in 2011 by Sepulchral Voice Records . In October 2011, the band held a gig where they performed together with Asphyx and Death Strike , among others . In February 2012 the band played together with Asphyx in Brussels . In the same year the group was represented at the Hell's Pleasure Festival and the Party.San . In 2013 the band could be seen at the Raging Death Date Festival and the Hamburg Hell over Hammaburg . In 2017, the debut album Trance of Death was released via Sepulchral Voice Records . The band can now act more dynamically because FSA has moved to Germany .

style

According to Nathaniel Colas from voicesfromthedarkside.de , the band's lyrics don't deal with typical Death Metal themes. Rather, they are mystical and profound. The members are fans of rock of the 1970s, proto- hard rock and power and speed metal of the 1980s. The groups especially like bands like Uriah Heep , Powerlord , Atomic Rooster , The Crazy World of Arthur Brown , Dust and Coven . Björn Thorsten Jaschinski from Rock Hard wrote in his review of the debut EP that it consisted of long songs separated by short interludes. All in all, "dark, sulfur-smelling Death Metal from the old autopsy school, paired with black Thrash attacks and a penchant for epic" can be heard. The songs are rhythmically varied, with aggressive staccato instead of grindcore passages. A few issues later, Götz Kühnemund noted in an interview with the band that stylistically they were closer to Watain than Venom . A few years later, Sebastian Schilling interviewed FSA in the same magazine. According to Schilling, the influence of hard rock and progressive rock becomes clear in some songs , so that similarities to Grave Miasma , Vircolac , Tribulation and Heretic emerged . The debut album deals with the subject of death, which is also clear from the title of the album, if you see it as an acronym . FSA said that the lyrics "are largely a reflection of the music and describe the atmosphere and emotions we associate with it". In the same issue, Schilling reviewed Trance of Death and stated that "Death Metal is combined with creaky rock set pieces and psychedelic effect sounds" and drew comparisons to Tribulation, Heretic and Chron's disease . The group succeeds particularly in the "seamless transitions between rough beating and extremely tasteful, dark psychedelic parts", with a "back-to-the-roots sound" inherent in the songs.
