Cronos continued: “I believe this is Venom at it’s best, the song writing keeps getting better, and the live shows are tighter and heavier than ever. It’s clear to me now that all of the line up changes this band has been through over the years, has been an inspiring journey to find the right band of warriors. Venom continue to keep growing stronger, and unstoppable”.

VENOM – To Headline Maryland Deathfest 2013

Posted in Black Metal, Metal, metal music, Music, rock music, rock music news with tags Black Metal, black metal news, maryland deathfest 2013, Metal News, venom, venom tour dates 2013 on October 7, 2012 by Metal Odyssey

As reported on the Official Venom Website:

Yes it’s official…. Venom have confirmed they will be headlining the Maryland Death Fest which takes place during the last weekend of May 2013.

The Black Metal Godz last played Live in America in 2006 on their ’10 Commandments Tour’, although other show commitments have prevented them from returning sooner. As yet no other US dates are being planned during this period, so this show at MDF XI could be a one-off spectacular.

Wanna See Some Of My VENOM Stuff? It’s All Really Cool…

Posted in Black Metal, Heavy Metal, heavy metal albums, metal music, Music, rock music, rock music news with tags Black Metal, cronos, fallen angels, Heavy Metal, Metal News, venom, venom black metal, welcome to hell on July 19, 2012 by Metal Odyssey

VENOM – Whoa. Check out (above) that cool front cover for my issue of Zero Tolerance. This is the December 2011/January 2012 issue – #44. Cronos, the legendary classic member, bassist and vocalist of Venom gives one hell of an interview in this issue. After reading this interview, I really admire the up-front nature of Cronos. He tells it like it is. Old school is Cronos and his band Venom is back like a pit viper!

This leads me to the most recent Venom release…

Fallen Angels. The 13th album overall from Venom, Fallen Angels was released back on November 28th, 2011, via Spinefarm Records / Universal. I actually won this CD you see above from a bet I made with Best Metal Buddy Scott Coverdale. What was the bet? It was a “straight-up” bet that my beloved New York Giants would defeat the hapless New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLVI. My NY Giants won, 21 to 17. Thank you, Coverdale!

What an album Fallen Angels is. This is as rabidly potent a Venom lineup as there has ever been, (with no insult to the classic Venom lineup of Cronos, Mantas and Abaddon). No studio trickery. No bullshit. Just F’n old school Metal, the way it was meant to be played and heard… courtesy of Venom.

Here is the back cover of Fallen Angels:

And now, I’ve saved the best for last…

How influential and pioneering is this Venom debut! Welcome To Hell was released back in 1981, via Neat. I’ve had this cassette version of Welcome To Hell for a very, very long time. This debut from Venom is 100% Metal history 101, my Metal brethren!

So many genres of Metal can thank Venom for their establishing such a raw & speed driven sound; establishing this sound so early on during the NWOBHM movement. Venom paved a Metal path for countless Thrash and Black Metal bands; it’s nearly mind-boggling to grasp.

See for yourself, how Venom is misspelled on this cassette’s spine. It reads: Venon. Who the hell was dumb enough to misspell Venom this way? Whoever was responsible for this printing error was obviously a constipated poser and a turd. Blasphemy!!

Maybe this “Venon version” of Welcome To Hell is worth a blackened fortune? I just don’t know. I’ll never part with this cassette anyways, unless someone offers me six figures for it.

______________________________

The track listing on this 1981 cassette version of Welcome To Hell:

SIDE ONE

Sons Of Satan

Welcome To Hell

Schizo

Mayhem With Mercy

Poison

Live Like An Angel (Die Like A Devil)
