Venom Prison is a death metal band that has gained a reputation for their incendiary blend of aggression and progressive elements within extreme music. Formed in 2014 in South Wales, the group quickly made its mark with a sound that melds the brutality of death metal with hardcore punk influences and a touch of melody. The band consists of vocalist Larissa Stupar, whose visceral performances and socially conscious lyrics have set the band apart, along with Ash Gray on guitar, Ben Thomas also on guitar, Mike Jefferies on bass, and Joe Bills on drums.

Their music is known for addressing significant social issues such as sexism, misogyny, and other forms of oppression, offering a thought-provoking counterpoint to their sonic ferocity. Venom Prison released their debut album "Animus" in 2016, pricking up the ears of critics and fans alike, followed by their critically acclaimed sophomore effort "Samsara" in 2019. Since then, Venom Prison has continued to push boundaries both thematically and musically. With recent releases like "Erebos" and "Venom Prison on Audiotree Live," they've continued to cement their status as one of the most exciting and unrelenting acts in modern metal, engaging audiences with a live ferocity that matches the intensity of their recorded output. Through albums, EPs like "Primeval," and gripping singles such as "Nemesis" and "Pain of Oizys," Venom Prison has shown a relentless commitment to evolution and intensity, positioning themselves at the forefront of a new wave of extreme metal.
