Legendary drummer Dave Lombardo<\/a> and his wife Paula share a band together \u2014 Venamoris \u2014 and we had to know more about the albums they’ve bonded over as a couple.<\/p>\n

While many headbangers know Lombardo’s heavy metal r\u00e9sum\u00e9, there is (and always has been) so much more to his DNA as a musician. With Venamoris, he and Paula break far, far away from rock and metal’s trappings (except for their exceptional cover of Scorpions<\/a>‘ steamy, waistline heat-seeker “Animal Magnetism,” ft. Gary Holt<\/a> on guitar). In sum, it is ethereal, breathy, cinematic, soul-stirring music that is utterly enrapturing.<\/p>\n

Learning more about the mutual musical interests of these couple furthers the understanding of some of the sounds and styles Venamoris are rooted in.<\/p>\n

“Throughout our relationship the amount of music that we\u2019ve introduced to one another and deeply connected through is immense,” the Lombardo couple says, “There are many other artists whose albums should be on this list, but here are just five-ish that demonstrate our ever-growing soundtrack.”<\/p>\n

We’ll get to those five albums in a moment, but first…<\/p>\n

The husband and wife duo first released\u00a0Drown in Emotion<\/em> in 2023, presenting a unified vision that has come into even clearer focus on its successor,\u00a0To Cross or To Burn<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo Cross or To Burn<\/em> has taken us down a darker, very different path than our first album,” Paula explains. “There\u2019s a confidence in this body of work. An overall vibe of heaviness that was unexpected. Verses of hard truths now bound in acceptance. The soul-searching continues.”<\/p>\n

Among the standouts on the record is “Truth,” which features off-kilter beats that create a nervous tension around the swirling,\u00a0hypnotic melodies.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2019Truth\u2019 is an ode to past mistakes and patterns we repeat until the lessons finally take hold,\u201d Paula shares. \u201cPain is a gift, if we allow it to be.\u201d Dave adds,\u00a0\u201cSimplicity is the approach here. When the lyrics and melody are strong, there is no need for frills. Don\u2019t mask the message.\u201d<\/p>\n
