Iron Bonehead Productionsis proud to present the self-titled debut demo of New Zealand'sVeneficium, set for international release onMarch 11th. Comprising veterans of the vital New Zealand metal underground,Veneficiumare a shrouded mystery whose sound emits both mystery andmenace, ethereality and utter crushing dread. Like many of the best New Zealand bands past and present,Veneficiumwield their sonics with an iron fist; forward propulsion is imbued with suffocatingly dense textures that seemingly bubbleup from a nameless abyss. It's barbaric and "bestial" in a sense, but in another, more accurate sense, the throbbingsturm und drangofVeneficium's three hydra-headed tracks explore eldritch reaches of both earth and cosmos, squarelyputting their palpably physical sound among more exploratory pursuits - "psychedelic," if you will. Total death, total doom...in a word,Veneficium. Hear the first rumblings of greatnessHEREwith lead-off track "Mefitic Exhumations."Cover and tracklisting are as follows.
