      Shadow Kingdom Records is extremely proud and honored to announce from Houston, Texas, the signing of VENOMOUSMAXIMUS! The name of the band reminds us of the classic Gladiator film where Russell Crowe aka ''Maximus'' was nothingshort of a complete madman who would die for his family and country without fear or worry of what might happen to him inthe process. VENOMOUS MAXIMUS is very much like that with their approach to their attitude and will to play music withconviction without any genre barriers or any worries if they re being ''true'' to the elite or cult fans that quickly dismiss anythingafter hearing 10 seconds of it. What we have here is a band that is interested in writing, not just good songs, but GREATmemorable songs that vary in length, tempo, and emotion. Those whom are familiar with the first album they put out withNapalm Records in 2012, ''Beg Upon the Light'' know what kind of a treat you re in for. Their 2nd and new album ''Firewalker'' isa great continuation of their talents. It s really rare to find bands that have no barriers and just focus on quality songs. Thisreally takes us back to the beginning of Heavy Metal when Black Sabbath would just put out records. Some of the jams wouldbe fast and heavy, while others would be slow and powerful. Black Sabbath could play any genre because they invented all ofthe heavy metal genres you hear today and when you hear VENOMOUS MAXIMUS it takes us back and reminds us that youdon t have to think about what kind of music you're listening to. It's just GREAT music and you love hearing it. Gregg Higginsheads this band with his very powerful and commanding vocals and chants that immediately raise fists in the air. There s anobscure Psych / Rock band (also) in Texas from the 70 s/80 s called ''Roky Erickson'' and if you YouTube ''Night of the Vampire''or ''Stand for the Fire Demon'', Roky's vocals remind us of Gregg s vocals in a way that are so captivating, they literally force youinto their world, and you can get lost in the music. With the rest of the band being tighter than 2 coats of paint, this band cando it all and do it all extremely well. They can easily become as big as and share fans with bands like GRAND MAGUS, HIGH ONFIRE, MASTODON, while not sounding like any of those bands and paving their own ''path of doom.''
