Venera, which features Korn co-founder James Shaffer and composer Chris Hunt, have delivered another song from their forthcoming self-titled debut album today.
The song “Ochre” features Jake Duzsik from Los Angeles noise rock band HEALTH. Duzsik said this about working on the song:
"It was refreshing to contribute to a track that is focused on creating atmosphere and feeling rather than simply capitulating to the endless regurgitation of standard verse/chorus structure. It is grounding to reconnect to the building blocks of music making that are elemental and emotional, and I wish I got to do it more often.”
Hunt said this about the track:
“'Ochre' came early on in the recording process of the album. For me, it recalls a beast stealthily moving through a dark space, or a strange ritual unfolding in moonlight.”
Venera’s self-titled debut album arrives tomorrow (October 13) via Ipecac Recordings. Pre-orders for the nine-track album, which also features guest appearances from Deantoni Parks, VOWWS, and Alain Johannes, can be found here.
