EXCLUSIVE VIDEO PREMIERE: VENIA’S CRUX
Back in March, I showed Venia some love in my Bleeder’s Digest 7″ review. The Minneapolis metallic “Spirit-filled” hardcore act crammed some tough-as-nails tunes onto that little black circle, and it pleases me to be able to present this music video for opening cut “Crux” (one of that release’s most moshable tracks) exclusively via MetalSucks.
The clip shows the band members at work and at play, from an intimate performance to a micro-pit in their van. There’s even a cameo from Chipotle, the fast food venue of choice by 9-out-of-10 hardcore acts! The director’s no slouch either, Michael Dalton, having worked on videos for acts including Living Sacrifice, The Showdown and Onward To Olympas. Check it out and, if you dig what you see and hear, make sure to pick up I’ve Lost All Faith In Myself via Blood & Ink Records. And here are upcoming tour dates for the band…
