With the release of the captivating track “In The Shadows” today, fans of the legendary extreme metal band Venamoris—which includes Dave Lombardo (Slayer, Fantïmas, Testament, Mr. Bungle, Misfits, Dead Cross) and his wife Paula—can get a sneak peek at their upcoming 2025 sophomore album. The band has signed with Ipecac Recordings. With a blend of seductive vocals and captivating instrumentation, Venamoris masterfully embodies an appealing and intensely emotive sound that is both hypnotic and emotionally charged. Their noir-tinged tunes have a sensuous yet provocative quality, almost like a well-kept secret.
‘In The Shadows’ is a song that arose from real-life feelings. The pulsating drum wholly evocative of marching forward even when internal unrest is still close at hand. It is a call for self-acceptance with the heaviness of a life well lived. Paula Lombardo
Venamoris is such an intimate project for the two of us. To have our sophomore album in Ipecac’s exceptionally skilled hands is a dream realized. We are estatic to be a part of this audacious label.
