Sorry State Records   Venom Inc: Av 12" (new) Nuclear Blast Records 

Regardless of your take on black metal forefathersVenom, they are the undisputed originators of extreme metal as we know it. Almost 40 years after their inception, the revitalized 1989-1992 line-up of guitaristJeff "Mantas" Dunn, vocalist/bassistTony "Demolition Man" Dolanand drummerAnthony "Abaddon" Brayhave returned with a monster of an album entitledAv.

Venom Inc.was born during an impromptu live set at 2015's Keep it True Festival in Lauda-Knigshofen, Germany. The on-stage reunion was a rousing success amongstVenomfans and music industry personnel alike, and although it was originally only set up for fun, Dolan began receiving numerous show offers forVenom Inc. from booking agents around the world. What started as a live set to celebrateVenom'slegacy immediately turned into a serious reunion discussion. While unexpected at the outset, the end result of this reunion is an album that trueVenomfans will gladly add to the top of their playlists. Vocalist/bassistTony "Demolition Man" Dolansays, "We tried to shape Av so that it comes at you dark, then it gets bright and heavy and just keeps growing into some kind of monster."

Going into writingAv,Venom Inc.realized their live performance was the key to creating an album that would be a metal classic. It was clear that any songs the trio came up with had to have the intensity, the honesty and the aggression that was happening for Venom Inc. in a live situation. Simply put, they needed to translate what they do on stage onto a record. Not once did they look back on theVenomcatalog and think, "We have to write another 'Black Metal' or another 'Schizo'..." The focus is onVenom Inc.and everything the rejuvenated three-piece do in the here and now.
