Lyrics


Yes,it's true!!!Venom just released their new album "Cast In Stone".It is a double CD(for the price of one,or triple LP for the price of two!!):the new album with 14 brand new tracks and a bonus one with 9(10 if you count the new intro) of their super classic hits performed in 1997.

Cronos,Mantas and Abaddon rejoined and created an original black metal album which has nothing to do with the crap some other "true","dark", "black" play.This is "pure fuckin' black metal" from the ones who created it and were one of the most influental metal bands in history.
All of the new songs are in the classic Venom style(as Cronos said:"pure fuckin' Venom!!")However don't think that it will sound like an old copy of "Welcome To Hell";the production is very good and the band sounds like Venom.don't be fooled by this however.This is Venom of today,they play pure black metal but they are sunchronized to time. In other words they still sound like Venom but at they same time they sound very "fresh".

I really can't tell many things about the album,it absoluetly kicks ass ,and i'm sure not only old Venom fans will like it but metal of any kind fans as well.

The cover of The CD is very nice.It's not exactly like the one you see above,you'll see what i mean if you get the album. It's kinda like 3D and it's also a sticker.
The re-recorded old songs sound very nice,and are slightly slower than the old versions.The voice varies a bit,you can say that it sounds more "angry", it remains pure Venom however.

This album shows that Venom didn't release a "commercial" album.They play pure black metal,the music they created and didn't play what some bands consider black metal.I think all these bands should respect Venom now.I know i said these things millions of times but it seems like some idiots still don't get it!!

I can't say anything more about the album,it ABSOLUETLY KICKS ASS!!!!The Greek Metal Hammer rated it with a 10(out of 10 of course)I rate it with a 15/10.Even if you don't like Venom (you're a dickhead but that 's your problem!) you will like this album,trust me!In other words YOU GOTTA HAVE THIS ALBUM!!!(AND ALL THE OTHER VENOM ALBUMS OF COURSE!!!) NO MATTER WHAT KIND OF METAL YOU LIKE!!
