Venomous Concept is a hardcore punk supergroup formed in 2003 by bassist Shane Embury (Napalm Death), guitarist King Buzzo (Melvins, Fantômas), vocalist Kevin Sharp (Brutal Truth) and drummer Danny Herrera (Napalm Death). They released Retroactive Abortion in 2004 on Ipecac Records. Sometime after the release, King Buzzo left the group and bassist Danny Lilker (Stormtroopers Of Death, Nuclear Assault, Brutal Truth) joined, with Shane Embury moving from bass to guitar.

The band’s name is a nod to Poison Idea.
