Venom is the band that coined the term \u201cblack metal\u201d with the release of their 1982 album of the same name. As a young fledgling metal head, Venom was regarded as one of the single most dangerous bands. Even as open to my music as my parents were, they forbid me to buy a Venom album. You know what that means right? I went right out and bought \u201cAt War with Satan\u201d and hid it under my bed until I was 16 years old. I totally lost touch with Venom after At War with Satan but over the years I held those first three albums in the highest of regard.<\/p>\n<p><center><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9KwCOoEI0rM\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>When I heard that Venom was releasing a brand new album in 2015 called From the Very Depths, my first thought was, \u201cJust how good can a new Venom album be? Especially since Cronos is the only original member left in the band.\u201d Well, from the first listen to the opening track \u201cFrom the Very Depths\u201d that question was answered. How good can it be? Really fucking good. Songs like \u201cTemptation\u201d, \u201cLong Haired Punks\u201d, and \u201cEvil Law\u201d really remind me heavily of the early days of Venom and why I first was drawn into this band. Hearing this album was a great reminder of why I love this band so fucking much and had me running back to my old Venom albums to rekindle that fire (pun intended).<\/p>\n<p>With From the Very Depths, Venom proves that they are still a very relevant and powerful force in heavy metal. Matter of fact, I\u2019d even put my money down that it\u2019s safe to say that Venom actually proves that nobody can do it better. Sure, you have your Behemoth and your Watain but at the end of the day, if it wasn\u2019t for Venom those guys would still be working at the local pub or fish house. Much like the classic bands of any other genre, the old guys just seem to do it better and do it with more heart and more power. To be honest, I would&#8217;nt expect anything less from the band that coined the very genre that they bear.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Venom \u2013 From the Very Depths Release Date: January 27, 2015 Record Label: Spinefarm Records Unless you\u2019ve lived under a rock as a metalhead, you\u2019ve without a doubt heard of the legendary Venom.
