Venomous Concept was formed in 2004 by Shane Embury of Napalm Death and Kevin Sharp of Brutal Truth, two of grindcore's most recognized musicians, who assembled the project as a direct tribute to their hardcore punk roots — particularly Poison Idea, Black Flag, and Japanese hardcore. The band plays stripped-down, fast hardcore punk at odds with the technical extremity of the members' primary bands, producing five studio albums on Season of Mist including Retroactive Abortion (2004), Kick Me Silly VCIII (2016), and The Good Ship Lollipop (2023).
