~ magazine website ~

This the second edition of the magazine, also features an interview with Cronos and Live photos from
Venom's concert in Poland from earlier this year. 

STUDIO UPDATE

The recording of the new Venom album is scheduled for completion by the end of 2010, and the release
date in 2011 will soon be announced.

"The recording process has been quite a challenge", revealed Cronos, "We started work on the album
just before the South American tour at the end of 2009, and as well as a series of challenges throughout,
we've also managed to get out on the road to play a select number of live shows during 2010.
The great thing about the new album is it's a band effort with everyone contributing ideas, we didn't set
 any time limits so we had the luxury of allowing the album to evolve. All of the songs sound very raw and
ferocious, and that's down to the fact that we been recording in a live setting, without triggers or old kit
samples, so it sounds ten times heavier and natural, like a live concert in the studio".

NEW ALBUM UNDERWAY

Venom are currently in the studio recording the tracks for their next album.
The band have been busy recording the demos and rehearsing with their new drummer Dante during
2009, Cronos recently commented: "There's a fresh energy with the new line-up and the sessions
are going great, Dante is a really big hitter which is fantastic, his playing went down a storm with the
South American Legions during our Latin American tour in December 2009.
Rage has been tearing up the decibels and cranking his amp valves white hot, so the new album
is sounding killer and will be ready for release in 2011".
Venom's management are currently negotiating some live shows for later this year.
