After months of anticipation, Venom Inc. will release their upcoming full-length opus, entitled 'Avé', on August 11th 2017 via Nuclear Blast.

Here's the first single from Avé, entitled 'Dein Fleisch'.



Venom Inc. was born during an impromptu live set at 2015s Keep It True Festival in Lauda-Königshofen, Germany. The on-stage reunion was a rousing success amongst Venom fans and music industry personnel alike, and although it was originally only set up for fun, Dolan began receiving numerous show offers for Venom Inc. from booking agents around the world.

What started as a live set to celebrate Venom's legacy immediately turned into a serious reunion discussion. The rest is history.

While unexpected at the outset, the end result of this reunion is an album that true Venom fans will gladly add to the top of their playlists.

Vocalist/bassist Tony 'Demolition Man' Dolan told us:

"We tried to shape 'Avé' so that it comes at you dark, then it gets bright and heavy and just keeps growing into some kind of monster."

1. Ave Satanas

Going in to writing 'Avé', Venom Inc. realised 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 the Venom catalogue and think, "We have to write another 'Black Metal' or another 'Schizo'." The focus is on Venom Inc. and everything the rejuvenated three-piece do in the here and now.

Tony Dolan adds:

"Expect 100% pure, honest, solid, hard, dark, thought-provoking Metal... like it was, is and forever shall be.

"Classic old-school, but with the ferocity and energy that we display in our live show. We are proud of this album and our new home at Nuclear Blast, as well as our whole team – management, PR, agents, sponsors and most of all, YOU.

"Thank you! See you somewhere on this Blood Stained Earth!"
