Episode 61: Venamoris
from Whatever Comes Next with Tom Osman · host Tom Osman
The musical backgrounds of Paula and Dave Lombardo could hardly be more different. A shy Canadian girl, Paula found herself playing large auditoriums as a teenage backing singer for Las Vegas showman Wayne Newton; Dave, a Cuban immigrant to the US, was already on his way to becoming a metal icon as drummer for Slayer by the time he reached his 20s. Venamoris is the couple's first musical collaboration, with Dave having helped Paula find a way back into music after an ultimately disillusioning move to Nashville as a solo artist some years ago. Having released their debut Drown In Emotion in 2023 on Three One G, the duo's follow up To Cross or To Burn is out now on Ipecac. Originally featured in Issue 75 of New Noise Magazine (and as an extended online version), this extra extended version sees Paula and Dave discuss the latest record, Paula's musical journey, how the pair first met and their thoughts on changes in the musical landscape.
