about

The beast is unleashed!
Last thing alive in the city, created in the final hour
to succeed after the humans fall.

BORNENEMY is a Hip Hop/HxC Metal creature composed of Venom, Mc Zombi & PrisonLife.

The back story take place when Venom & Nasty S crossed path via Matthieu Nedey (monstersquad dot com) who put them in connection. Before soon both artists feed the idea to join forces for a short record. “Venom and me share the same references in midnight cinema (vigilantes movies, horror flicks) and comics books, so the glue was mainly our love for these parallel cultures than the music itself”
recalls Nasty S.

Venom an outsiders in Hip Hop that use a cinematic point of view to describes a vivid reality, known for his 2009 underground acclaimed album “Un Justicier Dans La Ville”, ultimately worked with the legendary DJ Premier of Gang Starr on “Vigilantes” (2012).
It was his last vocal record. Venom stopped recording his voice since 2012 to only use his machines and formed the duo Ninjustice with Kyo Itachi to produce the underground hip hop finest as Conway (Griselda), Ras Kass, Bankai Fam, Blaq Poet, The Legion, Marquee, to name a few…

He brings his label mate and real life brothers Mc Zombi (producer/vocal artist) while the multi-talented guitarist/bassist Nasty S comes with his Avenging Force squad PrisonLife, the Hardcore Metal group with 90’s influence composed of Remz (drums), DJ Anft (vocals) and Tik (who play bass on stage). Their strong sound is filled with revenge an accusation towards this horrific society. PrisonLife debut album “We’ll bring the whole edifice down on their unworthy heads” (2018) was well received and bring them on the road for over 2 years.

Both camps had built an unusual hole on their ground and let the other inject their style in. Now you have scratches and rap on a metal track with mosh parts and guitars and metal vocals on a rugged hip hop beat. Plus a track where Venom only scratched guitars riffs and capital lines. “Turntables is an instrument, you can rock with it!” say Venom.

You hear the 90’s style crossover HxC metal combined with hardcore hip hop that creating fresh and cohesive material. In the pure tradition of Crossover anthems like Public Enemy /Anthrax “Bring The Noise” or Bio Hazards/Onyx “Judgment Night”.

And last but not least, as usual with Marvel Records, the longtime label collaborator and legendary 80’s movies illustrator Melki painted the cover that the project deserve.


-----------------------------------------

WORDS from Venom and Nasty S :

BornEnemy…
Sociomorphic monster birthed by the city inside its viscous underground sewers.
Product of an environment devastated by human madness.
You'll hear its scream only once... Inside this record. For this relentless reason :
Flesh disappears, music remains.
This beast took possession of our voices and of our instruments in order to make himself heard, melting them together like John Carpenter's The Thing.
The urge of his unruled expression is forcing us to mix two entities that don't collaborate as much as they used to in the 90's : metal and rap.

In the penitentiary of these two genres,
PrisonLife, Mc Zombi and Venom
share the same cell, the cell of hard ways : The Hardcore.
This monster is the face of our consciousness
that brutally expresses itself.
In the valley of ignorance,
the one who has been born warned, is a born enemy...

- Venom



An enemy, how can you not be one?
How can you not feel like you're on the other side of the line, an opponent on the opposite.
In reaction, and even more in opposition, against what's surrounding us, against what's swallowing us, against what's ingesting us, against what's digesting us, against what's deforming us,
against what's holding us back, and against what's turning us off.

Venom, Mc Zombi and PrisonLife,
same vision, same fight, same tools : B-movies, comics, ruthless literature, urban and underground culture, devotion to the old school, the dedication and savoir-faire of the obscure craftsmen,
the carefree intransigence, and the rejection of nowadays fashion trap.

From one same generation, a generation that grew up on
Public Enemy's Fear of a Black Planet and Beg to Differ by Prong.
Black Sheep's A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing
and Age of Quarrel by Cro-Mags,
Mobb Deep's The Infamous and Born to Expire by Leeway,
Ice-T's Home Invasion and Urban Discipline by Biohazard,
Onyx's Bacdafucup and Systems Overload by Integrity,
Liquid Swords by GZA and Merauder's Master Killer.
Our Iris burning while watching VHS tapes of C.H.U.D,
Basket Case, Street Trash, Maniac, Re-Animator, Bad Taste… Judgment Night soundtrack blasting out of the speakers…
The 80's and the 90's forever carved in our chests.

One-way ticket from Paris to Besançon, stationed sentries, allied troops, tenfold increased strength, riffs, beats, mosh parts, samples plus Melki to sublimate BornEnemy's vision.
An alloy is a combination of a metal and one or more other elements…
We call it the Total Crossover.

- Nasty S (PrisonLife)
