BANTON, LA - VENTRUSS RELEASE THEIR NEW SINGLE/VIDEO "SPIRIT OF THE CHOSEN" FROM THEIR NEW EP THE SERPENT. Bringing with them into the studio that same high intense energy their listeners experience live Ventruss continues to carve their name across the defining edge of the southern Hard Rock/Metal scene.

"This EP has been a huge steppingstone for the band. Our new material shows the true meaning behind what this band stands for. We worked through a major pandemic, dealt with personal life-changing events, and pushed through the gritty workmanship of creating an album that we know took everything out of us to make. These songs will kick your a** and we are proud of it!"
