About
Venomous Concept is an American hardcore punk band formed by Kevin Sharp of Brutal Truth and Shane Embury of Napalm Death in 2004. Sharp and Embury were joined by Danny Herrera and Buzz Osborne, who was later replaced by Danny Lilker. They have released five studio albums to date: Retroactive Abortion (2004), Poisoned Apple (2008), Kick Me Silly VCIII (2016), "Politics Versus the Erection" (2020) and "The Good Ship Lollipop" (2023). They have also released two split albums: one with Japanese grindcore band 324 (2006), and the other with Australian extreme metal band Blood Duster (2008). The band's name is a play on Poison Idea, in the style of name-mangling Japanese hardcore acts.
