Everyone knows what he can do behind a drum kit; the first five <b>SLAYER</b> albums are basically untouchable, but everything else about the man's musical life has come as a revelation. From multiple collaborations with <b>Mike Patton</b> including <b>MR. BUNGLE</b>, <b>FANTOMAS</b> and <b>DEAD CROSS</b>, to transatlantic hookups <b>EMPIRE STATE BASTARD</b>, surprise stints with <b>SUICIDAL TENDENCIES</b>, and his own solo work, 2023's percussion-led <b>"Rites Of Percussion"</b>, <b>Lombardo</b> has proven himself a renaissance man, with one foot planted firmly in left field. His ongoing collaboration with wife <b>Paula</b> provides arguably the most riveting contrast with his work in the metal world. As showcased on debut album <b>"Drown In Emotion"</b>, the <b>Lombardo</b>s deal in dark pop, singer-songwriter fragility, and an almost gothic sense of crestfallen seriousness. Anyone hoping for a redo of that kick-drum break in <b>"Angel Of Death"</b> will be bitterly disappointed, of course, but there is always a price to be paid for not paying attention.</p><p>There were some sublime moments on <b>"Drown In Emotion"</b>, but many of its production quirks pointed towards a fairly mundane, mainstream way of doing things. On <b>"To Cross or To Burn"</b>, <b>VENAMORIS</b> really begin to explore the potential of their colliding inspirations. It begins with a curious, <b>LOW</b>-like sonic trick involving <b>Paula Lombardo</b>'s sonorous voice being assailed by distortion. Suddenly, it snaps into full-blown production splendor, bowed cellos and double bass conspiring to fashion a noirish, misty-eyed torch song. Next, <b>"In The Shadows"</b> takes the duo into shadowy, quasi-industrial territory, with wub-wubbing bass, clanking beats and '60s spy film chord changes. <b>Dave Lombardo</b>'s girthy rhythm is wonderfully languid and measured, and <b>Paula</b>'s vocal is rich in blank-eyed, monochrome, post-war European vibes, both romantic and ice cold.</p><p>This is a far more imaginative record than its predecessor. At times, <b>VENAMORIS</b> seem to be coining their own semi-organic, DIY version of '90s trip-hop, with <b>Dave</b>'s drums providing an anchor to the rock world, but everything else pointing to unbridled ingenuity. Songs like <b>"Truth"</b>, <b>"Spiderweb"</b> and <b>"Animal Magnetism"</b> exist in world that is at least aesthetically adjacent to the existentialist dub-rock ambience of <b>TRICKY</b> and <b>PORTISHEAD</b>, albeit with occasional grimy guitars and the reassuring thud of a drumming expert on duty. Meanwhile, the breezy, bittersweet <b>"Stain Of Pain"</b> sounds like a through-the-looking-glass companion to <b>BLACK SABBATH</b>'s <b>"Planet Caravan"</b>; and <b>"Burnt Paper"</b> is a sinister, waltzing nursery rhyme with traces of folk horror ritual. <b>"Numb"</b> is the most overtly rock-oriented song here, with strong echoes of the '90s alt-rock explosion and a swaggering, sardonic vocal from <b>Paula Lombardo</b>. <b>VENAMORIS</b> prefer a gentle crescendo and a low-key melody to anything more extroverted, but the closing title track comes close to delivering a catchy chorus, in the midst of an unsettling, patchwork barrage of beats and tones.</p><p>Experimental but accessible, intimate but ambitious, <b>"To Cross or To Burn"</b> is a glowing advertisement for creative lives, lived in love and music. Whatever happens next will be fascinating.</p><p><iframe width="638" height="359" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/e8b0kGZ0FB4?si=tXX_Vpv0b8Tk8mgc" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0"
