In close cooperation with videographer Marius Milinski the story that began in their previous music videos ‘Rite of Passage’, ‘Shifting Colors’, ‘Uncaged Birds’ and ‘Mountains’ goes on in another crazy and final round which underlines this striking new single. “Solace” comes as CD and limited colored vinyl and a unique merch bundle. Pre-order “Solace”, here!

From the depths of their deepest crisis, VENUES emerge victoriously, welcoming two new members – clean vocalist Lela and guitarist Valentin.

VENUES went into the studio with producer Christoph Wieczorek (Annisokay) to record “Solace”, who coated their massive sound with a metallic alloy of remarkable precision. “We wanted to be more metal,” Robin comments.“There were some pop sensibilities of ‘Aspire’ we wanted to replace with rather the opposite.” 

Melody and punch-drunk heaviness, metal and alternative rock, zeitgeist and authenticity, barbed choruses, and unleashed creativity: with their soaring sophomore release, VENUES fulfill every single promise they gave on “Aspire”.  

2020 showed all of us how much the band is helping us keep our sanity

“Almost the whole band went through minor or medium crises since the release of our debut. Relationships went sour, things were ended and begun. In times like these, our second album was the light at the end of the tunnel. Something we all could look forward to. Our music held our heads above water.”
