Description:
FORMED BACK in 1979 in Newcastle Upon Tyne, Venom have had a HUGE influence on extreme music, especially the Thrash and Black Metal scenes, with bands such as Metallica, Slayer & Megadeth regularly acknowledging their historical importance and weight.
With the title of their second album ( Black Metal , 1982) now being used to describe an entire musical genre, it s clear that Venom s ground-breaking blend of raw heavy metal & punk, complete with down-to-earth humour and lyrics inspired by Satan and darker forces in general, singles them out as one of metal s most legendary and notorious acts.
They were harder, faster
FORMED BACK in 1979 in Newcastle Upon Tyne, Venom have had a HUGE influence on extreme music, especially the Thrash and Black Metal scenes, with bands such as Metallica, Slayer & Megadeth regularly acknowledging their historical importance and weight.

They were harder, faster, noisier and more offensive than all of their contemporaries back in the early 80s, and new album From The Very Depths shows that their signature no-compromise approach, based around original Venom titan Cronos infamous bulldozer bass , has in no way mellowed with time...
THE NEW ALBUM: FROM THE VERY DEPTHS
VENOM, the hugely influential UK outfit now celebrating 30 years plus at the forefront of the metal scene since the release of their legendary Welcome To Hell debut, will have a brand new studio album released on January 26th via Spinefarm Records...
Titled From The Very Depths and featuring 14 fresh recordings produced by main-man / bassist Cronos, this is the band s 14th studio album to date; the follow-up to 2011 s Fallen Angels release, it sees the trio (completed by guitarist Rage & drummer Dante) adopting a style highly redolent of classic early Venom with modern studio technology employed only to increase the general level of nastiness and spite.
The double vinyl version of From The Very Depths will follow the CD / download as a special enhanced package for Record Store Day.
