Venom Prison formed in Wales in 2015 with Larissa Stupar on vocals. Their debut album 'Animus' came out the following year, followed by 'Samsara' in 2019 and 'Erebos' in 2022. The band's sound pulls from death metal, black metal, and doom, with songs like 'Babylon The Whore' and 'Naraka' showing how they blend those elements.
Their lyrics often deal with trauma, mental health, and social injustice. They've kept at it, though, with Stupar's vocals driving songs that feel both punishing and oddly melodic at times.
Beyond the current lineup with Ash Gray and Ben Thomas on guitars, Mike Jefferies on bass, and Joe Bills on drums, there isn't much biographical detail floating around. They seem to prefer letting the music speak, with tracks like 'Implementing The Metaphysics Of Morals' and 'The Primal Chaos' doing plenty of that on their own.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
