Venom Prison play uncompromising Death Metal. They are also highly political and Larissa screams about the injustices that she sees around her. Usually Death Metal’s power and brutality is used to shock for shock’s sake. However in “Samsara” it is channelled into being a force for change. Venom Prison make extreme music that is extraordinary in its directness and its power. Every track bursts out of your speakers (or headphones) and demands attention. Yes, it is coarse and ferocious but there is also enough deviation and experimentation to capture the imagination. Hugely impressive.
