The Mission EP – Venomous Maximus
Venomous Maximus‘ new 12 inch is an extremely fun to listen to hard rock rampage. The title track “The Mission” is full of thundering guitars, hard enough to be metal but groovy enough to rope in casual hard-rock fans who dig Wolfmother or Queens of the Stoneage. The second track, “The Rider” goes even harder, starting off with a galloping guitar intro before descending into operatic vocals about mystical forces.
It’s all standard metal fare, but that’s not a bad thing. VM’s 12 inch exemplifies everything metal should be: dramatic, dark, and powerful.
Come out for the release party on August 19 at Fitz. This will be a headbangin’ good live show.
