Founding member
and lead guitarist for The Coffin Daggers Viktor Venom hails from the
vaunted East Coast ‘80s punk scene as a founder of crust punk band
Nausea as well as a previous turn as bass player for Reagan Youth.
Venom is joined by keyboardist extraordinaire and rhythm guitarist
Rob Morrison, bassist Peter Klarnet and drummer Pete Martinez.
Together this quartet are simply one of the most unique groups
around. Speaking about the new album, bassist Klarnet declares, “We
decided to go all out with this LP, so we recorded it over 16 tracks
on 2 inch tape at Metrosonic Studios in Brooklyn—resulting in a
deep, lush sound. It’s certainly not the cheapest way to record
these days, but we all firmly believe that if you’re going to
record something for posterity, it might as well be the highest
quality possible. The proof of course is in the final product which
we believe is our finest effort to date.” Previous releases by the
band have been praised by Guitar Player who observed that Venom
“moves proceedings beyond mere era emulation by unleashing a rude
and vicious riff that would have made Link Wray smile.” Meanwhile,
the group’s live performances have floored both European and
American audiences from start to finish, prompting Chart magazine to
declare “no one comes close to The Coffin Daggers when it comes to
all-out intensity...they will stomp a mudhole into your fragile
minds.”
