Houston
Dark Metal Band Putting Finishing Touches on New LP Firewalker
"Iron Maiden via High on Fire...a kind of
post-Mastodonic punk. Venomous Maximus could hit on an excellent balance of
familiar and genre-defying, ultimately adding to their home state's storied
legacy of heavy. Recommended." - THE OBELISK
Texas heavy metal band

VENOMOUS MAXIMUS is one of the most successful metal bands
to emerge from Houston
in years. Since its formation in 2010, the group has risen to the top of the
music scene in the country's third-largest city, winning back-to-back titles at
the Houston Press Music Awards as the Space City's
"Best Metal Band". The band's
most recent album, Beg Upon the Light, the LP has met to widespread
celebration, being called "Lovecraftian" and a
"masterpiece" by Metal Injection, "mayhem without mercy" by
Decibel and "super-thick occult
doom" by Rhapsody. A live powerhouse, VENOMOUS MAXIMUS has toured the U.S. as hand-picked guests of metal legends DOWN
and PENTAGRAM and created a huge buzz as part of both Austin's SXSW and Fun Fun Fun festivals. The
band is currently wrapping up work on it's new album Firewalker
VENOMOUS MAXIMUS features Gregg Higgins (Vocals, Guitar),
Christian Larson (Guitar), Trevi Biles (Bass) and Bongo (Drums).
VENOMOUS MAXIMUS is available to speak with interested media
now. To chat with the band, simply contact Carl Schultz @ ACTION! PR. Updated news and tour information will be made
available via ACTION! PR online.
"Red eyes aglow and horns held high, Venomous Maximus
waves its pentagram flag in the face of spiritually upstanding citizens
everywhere. The Houston combo revels in black-lit tales of witches, mausoleums,
gravestones at midnight, and the mystical pull of the moon...rumbling riffs and
raging rhythms" - THE AUSTIN CHRONICLE
"there is enough talent in the musicianship and tightness in the
songs to make listeners wonder what else Venomous Maximus might have hidden up
their sleeves...perpetuating a classic sound while adding their own
touches." - MXDWN
