"One thing that underground musichas been missing for the last 10 years is danger," saysVENOMOUS MAXIMUSvocalist / guitaristGregg Higgins. "Making this recordalmost killed us and pissed a lot of people off in the making, but chaos and drama make good art."
VENOMOUS MAXIMUSis an explosive, unbridled force.The band's music combines intense, unabashed metal riffing that locks into heavy rock grooves featuring interjected dual leads and darkened atmospheres.A live powerhouse,VENOMOUS MAXIMUS has toured the U.S. as hand-picked guests of metal legends DOWN, HIGH ON FIRE and PENTAGRAM, and has created a huge buzz as part of both Austin's SXSW and Fun Fun Fun festivals. VENOMOUS MAXIMUS consistently blows the doors off every venue in its touring path, leaving a whole new contingent of music fans awestruck and hungry for more. Last month, NPR named the band to its "Austin 100"hot list as one of the news and entertainment source'sartists to discover at SXSW 2015.
Now, with the impending LP,Firewalker,VENOMOUS MAXIMUSis poised to prove that each and every accolade it has earned since its formation in 2010is backed with the determinationand drive necessary to push modern metal forward in 2015.
