Venues release empowering new anthem 'Becoming'

Venues return with 'Becoming', a modern metalcore anthem that turns pain into power and self-doubt into momentum. After the emotional weight of 'Solace' and their acclaimed album Transience, the Stuttgart band deliver one of their boldest, most uplifting tracks yet.

Built on punchy riffs, explosive rhythms, and sleek modern production, 'Becoming' hits hard while keeping its hooks front and center. Harsh screams channel the pressure of insecurity and outside expectations, before the clean vocals break through with a clear statement of self-worth. Every breakdown and chorus drives home the message: real strength starts when you stop living for others. Lyrically, the song follows someone cutting loose from toxic influences, refusing to be defined by the past, and finally owning who they are, ending on a reminder that everyone deserves to see their own value.

Since signing with Arising Empire, Venues have become one of Germany’s standout modern metalcore acts. Their 2018 debut Aspire was named Kerrang! Album of the Week, and they’ve kept pushing forward ever since, powered by the contrast between Lela Gruber’s soaring melodies and Robin Baumann’s visceral screams. With 'Becoming', they sharpen that balance into a heavy, hooky, and genuinely empowering release.
