After a string of mysterious and intriguing single releases throughout the final few months of last year, VENAMORIS, the duo of legendary drummer Dave Lombardo & singer-songwriter Paula Lombardo, have announced their second album of soulful dark pop (and first for Ipecac), TO CROSS OR TO BURN.
The album is out Feb 28th, and you can pre-order the CD, Digital, White Vinyl or Limited Red Vinyl at venamoris.lnk.to/cross
The first single is a cover of Scorpions' classic "Animal Magnetism", which you can watch the video, directed by Displaced/Replaced at venamoris.lnk.to/animal
The album also features the previous singles "In The Shadows" and "Spiderweb", as well as some amazing guests including Gary Holt, Trevor Dunn, Ra Diaz and Alex Skolnick.
About the new single, Dave says, "My first concert was May 25, 1980. Scorpions opening for Ted Nugent’s ‘Scream Dream’ tour. We(Slayer) had covered a couple Scorpions songs in the early years, but I never would have thought of re-imagining one of their songs at that time. Now it seems like the most natural thing to do.
The idea to re-create ‘Animal Magnetism’ came to me late one night. I could hear Paula’s sultry voice, the song taking on a slightly industrial feel... and I could fully hear Gary Holt play this insane lead. It’s been really incredible to see this idea come to life.
To release this at the same time this iconic band is celebrating 60 years is a perfect way for me to thank them for an inspiring first show in 1980... and for all they have contributed since."
Paula offers insight into the album, “‘To Cross or to Burn’ has taken us down a darker, very different path than our first album. There’s a confidence in this body of work. An overall vibe of heaviness that was unexpected. Verses of hard truths now bound in acceptance. The soul-searching continues.”

Venamoris unveil “Spiderweb”, a haunting track and accompanying video conjured just in time for spooky season, a mesmerizing second glimpse into the spellbinding world created by Paula and Dave Lombardo. https://youtu.be/mjA_zqAm3KQ
"’Spiderweb' is a cinematic song that serves up the cathartic fantasy of pulling a thread from the sticky, cruel web of a narcissist and using it to choke the sound of their lunacy" Paula Lombardo shares.
Venamoris captures the essence of a sound that is darkly alluring and deeply emotional, blending sultry vocals with mesmerizing instrumentation to create an enveloping experience. Like a whispered secret, there’s something seductive yet provocative about the noir-tinged songs they create. Brooklyn Vegan, describing an earlier single, adeptly said Venamoris has “Portishead meets David Lynch vibes.”

Revisit the first new single “In The Shadows” (https://youtu.be/qnTTGMYGkIM) and stay tuned for news on their sophomore release coming in 2025!
Ipecac proudly presents the new album from legendary musician, composer and arranger, JEAN CLAUDE VANNIER.
Jean Claude Vannier et son orchestre de mandolines will be released on Feb 14, 2025. Listen to the first single “Perdue dans la cité (Lost in the city)” and pre-order on LP, CD and Digital at vannier.lnk.to/mandolin
The album features Vincent Beer-Demander, whose mandolin is multiplied by an orchestra to form a singular sound palette, mingled with Grégory Daltin's accordion’s soufflet. A pinch of strings, a hint of childhood, melodies that touch the heart, orchestration that’s never expected... these are the emotions that emerge from this album.
Mike Patton, who collaborated with Vannier on the 2019 release, Corpse Flower, says of the upcoming album, ”Jean Claude is a dear friend, mentor and a wonderfully gifted and decorated composer. Read: LEGEND. To have worked with him is an unmitigated honour. His writing and arrangements have influenced an ocean of artists and I call myself one of the lucky ones who have crossed his path. He was writing ground-breaking stuff before I was born. He has affected me deeply and I’m forever grateful and in AWE.”

Ipecac est fier de présenter le nouvel album du légendaire musicien, compositeur et arrangeur, JEAN CLAUDE VANNIER.
L’album "Jean Claude Vannier et son orchestre de mandolines" sortira le 14 février 2025. Écoutez le premier single « Perdue dans la cité » et précommandez l'album en LP, CD et numérique sur vannier.lnk.to/mandolin.
L'album met en scène Vincent Beer-Demander, dont la mandoline est magnifiée par un orchestre de mandolines pour former une palette sonore unique, mêlée au soufflet de l'accordéon de Grégory Daltin. Une pincée de cordes, un soupçon d'enfance, des mélodies qui touchent au cœur, une orchestration inattendue... Telles sont les émotions qui se dégagent de cet album.
Mike Patton, qui a collaboré avec Vannier sur l’album "Corpse Flower ” en 2019, déclare à propos de l'album à venir : « Jean Claude est un ami cher, un mentor et un compositeur merveilleusement doué et récompensé. Travailler avec lui est un véritable honneur. Son écriture et ses arrangements ont influencé un océan d'artistes et je me considère comme l'un des chanceux qui ont croisé son chemin. Il écrivait des choses révolutionnaires avant ma naissance. Il m'a profondément marqué et je lui en suis éternellement reconnaissant. »
Gone Dark, the new album from Human Impact is out now!
The laser-precision noise-rock alliance of Unsane frontman Chris Spencer, Cop Shoot Cop squall-maker Jim Coleman, bassist Eric Cooper and drummer Jon Syverson bring you the band’s sophomore release.
The duo of Paula & Dave Lombardo have released the haunting new single “In the Shadows” which you can check out at: venamoris.lnk.to/shadows
“’In The Shadows’ is a song that arose from real-life feelings,” Paula Lombardo shares. “The pulsating drum wholly evocative of marching forward even when internal unrest is still close-at-hand. It is a call for self-acceptance with the heaviness of a life well lived.”
“Venamoris is such an intimate project for the two of us,” adds Dave Lombardo. “To have our sophomore album in Ipecac’s exceptionally skilled hands is a dream realized. We are estatic to be a part of this audacious label.”
A 2025 album is in the works, so stay tuned for more soon!

One last single before the Oct 4th release of Human Impact's sophomore release, Gone Dark.
“Corrupted" is a jeering stab at the power hungry corporations who leave destruction in their wake in pursuit of something material and useless.
