The second single from VENOM’s forthcoming new album, Into Oblivion, is the bludgeoning “Kicked Outta Hell,” which is a ferocious thrasher of a track and while it has hints of classic VENOM it also has a modern twist of brutality. Destined to be another crowd pleaser in the live arena, it’s without doubt one of the heaviest tracks VENOM have ever penned.

Cronos smirks, ‘This one is me just having fun. I’m putting myself above the Devil in the lyric, which I think is an interesting twist. The Devil’s pissed off with us!’. Dante gestures, ‘You’re not staying in hell, get out!’. Rage affirms, ‘It’s one of the heaviest songs on the album, it’s grinding & straight ahead.’

Into Oblivion is VENOM’s sixteenth studio album and features the long-standing line up of Cronos (bass/vocals and founding member), Rage (guitar) and Dante (drums) and marks their first new recordings since 2018’s, Storm The GatesInto Oblivion consists of thirteen songs that are signature VENOM: heavy, evil and catchy. There’s a combination of their classic 80’s sound adjacent to a more modern, progressive approach but without losing any of their fire and brimstone of old.

The album has been in the works for some years now, but a number of factors held back its completion until now; the Covid pandemic, recording setbacks and the hunger to nail it to perfection, but in the words of Cronos, “This album has really pushed the boundaries, but if you want to make a killer album, you pay for it in blood, sweat and tears.” However, VENOM true to form have overcome adversity to release an album worthy of their legacy as Rage affirms, “I’m so proud of this album, it’s astounding! It feels so different, yet so familiar. The sonics are a step up, no song sounds the same, but they all work together.”

There will be freebies and a chance to win a signed set of test presses at every event. Come along and enjoy an evening of Metal Bloody Metal at these venues!
