Prosthetic

Prosthetic is a US record label specializing in heavy metal recordings. Founded in Los Angeles, California in 1998 by former employees of Columbia Records, Prosthetic has established itself as a prominent force in the metal music industry. With an impressive roster of talented *artists* and performers, the label continues to push boundaries and deliver groundbreaking music to fans worldwide.

Since its inception, Prosthetic has been dedicated to supporting and promoting the heavy metal genre. The label's founders, [a2954878] and [a=Dan Fitzgerald (2)], recognized the need for a platform that would allow emerging metal bands to showcase their talent and reach a wider audience. With their expertise and passion for music, they created Prosthetic with the aim of providing opportunities for artists to thrive.

Over the years, Prosthetic has signed numerous influential *bands* across various subgenres of heavy metal. From death metal to black metal, thrash to progressive, the label embraces diversity within the genre while maintaining its commitment to quality music. With a strong focus on artistic integrity and innovation, Prosthetic consistently delivers albums that resonate with both hardcore fans and newcomers alike.

Venom Prison is a death metal band hailing from South Wales. Formed in 2014, the current line-up consists of Larissa Stupar on lead vocals, Ash Gray and Ben Thomas on guitars, Mike Jefferies on bass, and Joe Bills on drums. With their powerful sound and intense performances, Venom Prison has gained a reputation as one of the most promising bands in the genre.
Over the years, Venom Prison has attracted a dedicated fanbase with their raw and aggressive music. Their lyrics often touch upon social issues and explore themes of oppression and injustice. The band's distinctive style sets them apart from other artists in the genre.
Influenced by bands like Fuming Mouth, Judiciary, Jesus Piece, Ithaca, and many others, Venom Prison continues to push boundaries with their music. They have shared stages with renowned acts such as Code Orange and Revocation. With each release, they solidify their position as an influential force in the death metal scene.

Primeval comprises both new and historic material from Venom Prison, bringing new life to favourites such as Usurper of the Throne from their Defy the Tyrant EP and Babylon The Whore from their Primal Chaos EPs respectively, both of which were released in very limited pressings during 2015. In addition to historic material, ‘Primeval’ sees Venom Prison debut Defiant to the Will of God, a newer track recorded during late 2019.

Primeval is both a hark back to the force that has underpinned Venom Prison’s momentum in recent years as well as an indication as to what the future may hold. Relive tracks such as Narcotic and Daemon Vulgaris re-recorded, re-mixed and re-mastered in all their glory with the same grit and strife that has set Venom Prison apart since day one. Much like if you were to rerecord your favourite classics from the early days with the bone-crushing production of later recordings, Primeval is a recording like no other, as a successor to Venom Prison’s critically acclaimed releases, both Animus and Samsara, Primeval offers up the raw brutality that preceded the recordings which have brought Venom Prison into the spotlight whilst simultaneously giving fans a unique opportunity to hear previously unreleased recordings and demonstrating the thirst that Venom Prison possess to continue their unprecedented growth during turbulent times.
