Venom Inc. - A thundering tribute to Venom
****
Classic live show from one of the most important Metal bands!!!
Venom Inc. **** With over four hundred shows in just over two years since Mantas and Tony Dolan and Abaddon started touring under the Venom Inc name it has to be said Cronos and his mob must be kicking themselves.
The band take to the stage and open with 'Ave Santanas' from their new album 'Ave' the three piece are precise and confident. While they stuck to the classics to begin with tonight they dig a little deeper into the catalogue as well as playing selections from the new album.
A special treat for hard core fans is when Ex-Venom guitarist Al Barnes joins the band onstage to run through 'Temples of Ice' which must have not been played live in decades up to this point. The band respectfully tip their hats to Lemmy with 'Black 'n' Roll' another new cut and bring the whole night to a wonderful climax with 'Black Metal' and 'Countess Bathory'... followed by an awesome encore of 'Sons of Satan' and 'Witching Hour' that end the night in a spectacular fashion.
As always the mission has always been simple with Venom Inc, to celebrate the legacy of one of Metal's most important bands and to play a collection of timeless songs. Now with a new album under their belts and the live show demand not waning something very special has come about in deed and with shows like tonight it's easy to see why. Again, that other band must be kicking themselves.
