VENOMOUS MAXIMUS - Beg Upon The Light · DIGIPAK CD

Limited edition digipak CD.

Background information über 'Beg Upon The Light'

Texas-based Venomous Maximus delivers a crushing blend of traditional doom metal and occult rock on "Beg Upon The Light", their debut full-length that showcases the band's ability to channel both the heavy riffs of classic metal and the mystical atmosphere of 70s psychedelic rock. The album opens with the haunting "Funeral Queen", setting a dark tone that permeates throughout the record, while tracks like "Give Up The Witch" and "Path of Doom" demonstrate the band's knack for crafting memorable hooks within their heavy, fuzz-laden soundscapes. The production maintains that raw, analog warmth that doom metal fans crave, allowing the band's twin-guitar attack and thunderous rhythm section to create walls of sound that feel both vintage and timeless.

What makes this release particularly special is how Venomous Maximus manages to balance crushing heaviness with genuine songcraft - tracks like "Dream Again" and "Moon Child" reveal a more melodic side without sacrificing any of the album's dark energy. The self-titled track "Venomous Maximus" serves as a perfect centerpiece, embodying everything the band represents with its occult themes and crushing riffs. The three bonus tracks included in this limited first edition add significant value, giving fans even more material to sink their teeth into. This is doom metal that doesn't just rely on volume and distortion but actually has something meaningful to say about the human condition.
