Black Metal legends Venom are back in their new disguise

Venom Inc ****1/2 originally formed in the 80's as Venom, Jeff 'Mantas' Dunn and Tony 'Demolition Man' Dolan worked together for nine years doing M:Pire of Evil before reincarnated band as Venom Inc in 2014 and subsequently recruited in Tony 'Abaddon' Bray in for one very special show.

Recently signed with Nuclear Blast Records, this talented trio owned the crowd from the moment they took to the stage. Abaddon on drums thundered his way through the set, whilst at the same time showing perfect control.

Mantas ripped along side on guitar and The Demolition Man played bass with gut rumbling ferocity, yet keeping that classic NWOBHM sound. Dolan's vocals were superb and his stage presence better than ever.

The packed room exploded when the classic track 'Black Metal' was delivered with passion and power. An all round class act whose experience showed, yet you can tell there is more to come these guys. If you get the chance to see them, you will not be disappointed.
