They incorporate a wide range of influences in their musical art to paint a tapestry of epic yet melancholic compositions.

Press Reviews "Let me start off by asking a question, "Could this be America's answer to Dimmu Borgir?" If not yes, then it's pretty damn close... " - Aaron Maly (Last Century Gothic Distribution) "The band incorporates a sound that has a touch of Cradle of Filth without quite as much theatrics, but more towards the vibe of Dimmu Borgir's Stormblast or the first... " -John Chedsey (Satan Stole My Teddy Bear) "There’s an overall dark atmosphere created that makes Veneficum a heavy contender in the Black Metal scene and hard to ignore. Veneficum are one of the few US Black Metal bands, and are showing fans that Europe does not only house the best out there." -Phil Cantore (UIC Today)
