Venom \u2013 Storm the Gates<\/strong>
\nDecember, 2018<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cronos & Company\u2019s 2015 From the Very Depths <\/em>was a real fucking treat.\u00a0 When it was released I remember wondering just how good a fucking Venom album could be in 2015.\u00a0 Well, it was really fucking good and in fact it was one of my favorite albums of the year.\u00a0 2018 found Cronos & Co. sliding into home plate at the very last minute of the year with Storm the Gates <\/em>and I have to say, this was not a great way to close out the year for me as a Venom fan or Cronos & Co themselves.<\/p>\n

Now before you go bitching at me, let me just state that I am indeed a fan of Venom, Inc.\u00a0 I\u2019m a HUGE fan of that band but I\u2019m also a Venom fan but in my opinion, Venom has put out way too much shitty music over the years.\u00a0 While some of their shit is just flat out unlistenable, Storm the Gates <\/em>isn\u2019t unlistenable.\u00a0 It\u2019s just downright disappointing.<\/p>\n

Storm the Gates <\/em>as a whole sounds like it was recorded in a fucking coffee can.\u00a0 Musically and lyrically the songs are uninteresting, uninspired, and just dull.\u00a0 From the Very Depths <\/em>had me pounding my fucking fists on my desk because it was so fucking good but Storm the Gates?\u00a0 <\/em>Maybe they should have called the album Barely Push on the Gates?\u00a0 <\/em>Who the fuck knows?<\/p>\n

Storm the Gates<\/em> is horribly produced, boring, and completely uninteresting.\u00a0 I don’t know if Cronos was just rushing to get an album out or maybe he just blew his load completely with From the Very Depths. <\/em>\u00a0To all of you up and coming bands out there, if you want to hear how NOT to make an album, just give Storm the Gates<\/em> a listen.\u00a0 It\u2019ll be like going back to school which from the sounds of this album is something Cronos could use to do himself.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
