I fell in love with the texture and depth of the sounds I had created. I couldn\u2019t just ignore it, so I went with it and I am so glad I did.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"nv-iframe-embed\"><iframe title=\"Bite The Boxer -  Venom Test (Music Video)\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/za6oXl65LGk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Venom Test&#8221; is available on all major digital platforms including Bandcamp and Spotify.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Buy\/Stream &#8220;Venom Test&#8221;:<\/strong><br><a href=\"https:\/\/bitetheboxer.bandcamp.com\/track\/venom-test\">https:\/\/bitetheboxer.bandcamp.com\/track\/venom-test<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/album\/0W97fJnubbEswXtQGeyhvf\">https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/album\/0W97fJnubbEswXtQGeyhvf<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Follow BITE THE BOXER:<\/strong><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/bitetheboxer\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/bitetheboxer<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/bitetheboxer\/\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/bitetheboxer\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Atmospheric, intricate and genre-fluid music producer, Matt Park of&nbsp;<strong>BITE THE BOXER<\/strong>&nbsp;started releasing music in 2020.
