Venomous Concept is an American hardcore punk band formed by Kevin Sharp of Brutal Truth and Shane Embury of Napalm Death in 2004.

They have released five studio albums to date: Retroactive Abortion (2004), Poisoned Apple (2008), Kick Me Silly VCIII (2016), "Politics Versus the Erection" (2020) and "The Good Ship Lollipop" (2023).

Shane Embury and Sharp were already acquainted, and "some beers, pizza and old vinyl classics by Poison Idea, Black Flag and Systematic Death" renewed their friendship.

Embury remembered: Napalm were on tour with Nile and when the driver had to leave, Kevin Sharp who sang for Brutal Truth, stood in for him.

[4]They recruited Buzz Osborne of the Melvins on guitar and Napalm Death's Danny Herrera on drums, and released their debut Retroactive Abortion (2004) via Mike Patton's Ipecac Recordings.
