Watch Venom Prison's disgustingly heavy dose of death metal in The K! Pit

The UK death metal crew wreak havoc in The K! Pit in association with Rizla.

After Sharptooth wrecked the Brooklyn K! Pit last week, we're back in London and are packing a disgustingly heavy dose of death metal. Entering the K! Pit in association with Rizla this week are none other than Venom Prison, the hottest band in extreme music right now.

Fresh off the release of their 5/5-rated album Samsara, this is Venom Prison's first show since August last year and the first time anyone has heard the new music live. Pretty good, huh?

We crammed 50 of Venom Prison's biggest fans into Blondies (our favourite London dive bar) for an exclusive 30-minute set, getting up close and personal. It's loud, it's lairy, it's sweaty, and it's metal as fuck.
