Venom Prison Share First Single From New Album

---

‘Judges Of The Underworld’ arrives alongside a new accompanying video for the track. The clip was directed and produced by Thomas Coe Brooker with creative input coming from Venom Prison’s vocalist Larissa Stupar.

Check out the new Thomas Coe Brooker directed video here:

Talking about the new track the band comment “’Judges Of The Underworld’ deals with the crippling reality of people who face incarceration, who oftentimes are followed by violence over a lifetime. This violence can present itself as a dominating factor in a context of structural poverty and racial inequality, creating roles in an individual’s life where they are not only the victim, but also witness and offender at different times in different situations. But the violence we address in our courts and prisons is judged out of social context and can therefore not lead to a fair and personalised resolution for people who are stuck in a cycle of violence and systematic oppression.”

The band go on to say “It was important for us to visualise this feeling of isolation, anxiety, and repeated violence in the music video for ’Judges Of The Underworld’ and the idea was to show an individual that is stripped down to their basic needs and instincts. Consumed by their helplessness to navigate in an everyday situation, feeling isolated within themselves whilst going under in a sea of people that face similar conditions.”

“This is where Thomas Coe Brooker comes in as a director and cinematographer, with his unique eye for detail he was able to bring out this combative helplessness and aggressiveness of said individual. He was able to convey the feeling of being alone in a crowd, suffering the same fate as many others, where isolation becomes your existence and a vicious cycle of your life at the hands of systematic violence.”

Venom Prison’s new album is set for release worldwide on February 4th, 2022 via Century Media.
