Venia - Frozen hands
Hailing from Minneapolis, Minnesota, Venia has a positive, multi-faceted message that stands in stark contrast to the nature of many of their hardcore contemporaries. Following relentless touring nationwide and self-releasing their debut album in early 2008, the band drew the attention of Blood & Ink Records, who felt immediately they should work together.
Venia entered Studiotte (Comeback Kid, Saints Never Surrender, La Dispute) in Grand Rapids, Michigan during early 2009 to record their next effort, Frozen Hands. Packing their characteristic punch, the album also demonstrates Venia’s constant progression as musicians, resulting in a pummeling, yet thought-provoking release with thematic threads running throughout the lyrics. Where their previous releases have turned people’s heads, Frozen Hands will grab their attention immediately.
• Recorded by Troy & Joel Otte at Studiotte (Saints Never Surrender, La Dispute) in Grand Rapids, Michigan

• Artwork by up-and-coming illustrator Aaron Conley (Hellfest, The Red Baron)
