Venom Prison: firmano con Century Media Records

Comunicato stampa (Century Media Records Italy):

“VENOM PRISON have captured the hearts and minds of many fans of extreme music since bursting onto the scene in 2015.” (Metal Hammer UK) “Nothing shy of absolutely destructive in the best way.” (Revolver) #4 on Kerrang!’s “The 50 Greatest Death Metal Bands Right Now” Century Media Records è lieta di dare il benvenuto ai VENOM PRISON! La deathcore band inglese è momentaneamente alle prese con le fasi di scrittura di quello che sarà il prossimo album, il debutto per la label tedesca. Il commento della band: “Siamo orgogliosi di annunciare questo deal globale con Century Media Records. Questo contratto è l’inizio di un nuovo capitolo per i Venom Prison e siamo onorati di fare parte di questa grande famiglia assieme agli artisti più iconici dell’heavy metal e a molti amici.” I VENOM PRISON si sono ritagliati uno spazio senza compromessi con la pubblicazione degli album “Animus” (2016), “Samsara” (2019) e con il nuovo “Primeval”. La formazione capitanata dalla cantante Larissa Stupar e il chitarrista Ash Grey (con la formazione completata dal chitarrista Ben Thomas, dal bassista Mike Jefferies e dal batterista Joe Bills) è esplosa in una forza brutale da tenere sott’occhio nei prossimi mesi… “VENOM PRISON is an important band in every sense of the word,” says Century Media A&R Mike Gitter.  “They are a wakeup call with songs that are not just musically brutal, but dig into issues that challenge our day-to-day existence. Gender issues. Cultural and political oppression. They’re relevant in ways that so many bands fall short of. VENOM PRISON is the band we need now more than ever.” Philipp Schulte, Director Century Media Records, comments: “With VENOM PRISON one of the finest British bands of recent years joins the ranks of Century Media Records. VENOM PRISON’s vision marks an overdue turning point in the sort of musical and lyrical complacency that has long plagued the worldwide metal scene. This is not your older brother’s feel-good metal. This is extreme music with a compelling message, and it perfectly fits to what Century Media as a label will always stand for: Establishing bands and artists who are willing to make a difference and take a stand. VENOM PRISON is a trailblazing band for what metal can and will be in the upcoming decade. Welcome to Century Media Records!” It’s not surprising that VENOM PRISON’s wage of intensities has reverberated with a wide array of fans and fellow musicians. They’ve toured with the likes of Trivium, made a scorched earth North American debut on the Summer Slaughter tour and were hand-picked by Parkway Drive to open their Covid-cancelled 2020 European tour. For the five band members, this is only the beginning.  “We have been writing new material relentlessly for the last 12 months,” says VENOM PRISON. “We’re pleased to finally be back in the studio.” VENOM PRISON have pushed back their headlining tour with support coming from Creeping Death and Leeched to October 2021
