Venamoris, the wife/husband duo of Paula and Dave Lombardo, released To Cross or To Burn earlier this year on Ipecac Recordings.

The band just followed that up with a new standalone single, "Contrapasso."

“As we move forward on our musical trek, phenomenology continues to scorch the way. ‘Contrapasso’ is the story of an antagonist’s eventual ruin… an offering created for a specific cycle to end,” Paula says of the song.
