Venom Inc. - Ave'

Venom Inc.
Ave’
(Nuclear Blast)

Venom's legacy exists as a pillar that hoists up the metal community going as far back as 1981. Without compromise, they fostered an abundance of style and imagery that have now become permanently intertwined throughout our hessian culture.

However, more than the looks and Satanic themes, Venom thoroughly inspired metal with riffs and hooks that are now essential to speed metal and black n' roll's format.

Ave' may be one of the most anticipated and decisive comeback albums of 2017. Ave' sustains the heart and soul that powered Venom's ferocious music and takes the band into new terrain. Without question, Mantas and Abbadon maintain the creative forefront that drove Venom's energy. Ave' is a wall of 11 pummeling tracks that incorporate the spirit of Venom Inc's feral performance talent and undying zeal.

Ave’ honors Venom’s old strengths without failing to push forward as Venom Inc., which is an undeniably strong feat of the album. Although some may insist that Ave’ ventures off of a traditional path toward styles and tones that are not purely ‘80s, it’s not an overwhelming problem, given that the song structure is utterly Mantas and Abbadon in all forms with merely minor tonal adjustments via modern technology. The tracks are characteristically Venom through and through, wish some vision toward the future to allow for necessary creative growth.

Ave' was released on August 11th and is available via Nuclear Blast.
