Venom – April 2006 – Cronos, Antton, Mykvs – Prepare to Unleash “Metal Black”
VENOM, the heaviest band on the planet, a true forefather and inventor of black metal, has returned. Since debuting with the landmark album “Welcome to Hell” in 1981, this band has always served up raw, dark, brutal and powerful music. Now in April 2006, just when everyone thought metal music couldn’t get any heavier, VENOM is back to unleash “Metal Black”.
VENOM is a band that has influenced music makers the world over with their visceral albums. Releases such as “Black Metal”, and songs like ‘Warhead’, is some of the most familiar and celebrated musical accomplishments in metal. The band’s live shows have always taken onstage antics and pyrotechnics to another level, raising the bar for their contemporaries and still drawn upon by new artists. VENOM is, in essence, a legendary band who always delivers the ultimate in extreme music.
“Metal Black” sees original founding band member Cronos, together with longstanding members Antton and Mykvs, creating a new masterpiece of metal. This is such an exciting album for the band – and for all fans of VENOM – with 14 brand new roaring and vital tracks. Venom is again taking the goat by the horns and reinventing their own original style, as controversial as ever. VENOM brings their brand of metal into the 21st century in the form of “Metal Black”, an album that harkens back to their earlier style. With production quality powerful enough to incinerate any sound system, and with the delivery of a charging beast, this is music at its heaviest. This is metal of the darkest kind. This is “Metal Black”.
hmm…"longstanding members Antton and Mykvs"? I'm no guru, but they can't be that longstanding–never heard of em. Unless Manntis and Abbadon changed their names =?.
Metal Black? That's stupid. Lemme guess, they have a song called 1001 Days in Sodom…THE SEQUEL!
Yep. And the title for the Stupidest Album Name Ever goes to..
this album fucking rocks by the way.
despite the stupid name, this album fucking wins.
So does it mean your album is good if you're "taking the goat by the horns"? Or is there some sort of underlying bestiality theme on the record?
I'd totally buy it if there was.
That makes two of us.
