Venamoris, the darkly romantic duo of Paula and Dave Lombardo, release “Truth” today, the final preview from their forthcoming album, To Cross or To Burn, out Feb. 28 via Ipecac Recordings.
Following the haunting “In The Shadows” and the ethereal “Spiderweb,” “Truth” explores raw self-reflection, wrapping hypnotic melodies around cinematic, John Barry-influenced soundscapes.
“’Truth’ is an ode to past mistakes and patterns we repeat until the lessons finally take hold,” Paula shares. “Pain is a gift, if we allow it to be.”
“Simplicity is the approach here,” Dave offers. “When the lyrics and melody are strong, there is no need for frills. Don’t mask the message.”
“There’s a confidence in this body of work,” Paula adds. “An overall vibe of heaviness that was unexpected. Verses of hard truths now bound in acceptance. The soul-searching continues.”
