Venom - Former Members Launch Venom Inc.


Original Venom members Jeff "Mantas" Dunn (guitar) and Anthony "Abaddon" Bray (drums) have rejoined forces with ex-Venom bassist/vocalist Tony "Demolition Man" Dolan in a brand new band called Venom Inc.. Many other bands have done it. We have the recent examples of Entombed A.D., Geoff Tate's Operation: Mindcrime, Schirenc Plays Pungent Stench and so on.





Venom Inc. made its live debut at this weekend's Keep It True festival in Lauda-Königshofen Germany, and will continue with shows in China, Japan and Taiwan in July, followed by a full European tour with Polish death metallers Vader in September. Venom Inc. will play a full set of Venom classics, with plans to record a brand new album in the coming months.

Dunn, Bray and Dolan released three albums as Venom between 1989 and 1992 ? Prime Evil (1989), Temples Of Ice (1991) and The Waste Lands (1992).

In some way I think this band in writing be more original as real venom , seems they will keep 80's when Venom was good alive, but original venom already drawn in creativity ....

I think the last Venom album was quite good, if we go by Venom standards.

Not for the traditional genres which Venom was part of. The new genres of course they gained a bit of notoriety since they were new. But for the 70s and 80s bands, it was the true nemesis. And even doom and death metal bands experienced a decline in the late 90s. Black metal (as in traditional BM) started to go downwards since the 2000s.

It is not about bands getting older as many proved that they still have inspiration and drive even 20-30 years after they debuted, it is about trends and the income of new generations. Like it or not, these bands were popular among teenagers, high-schoolers or uni students. It worked until lets say... they got around 25-30. They then married, started a family, made children and the interest and time allocated to the music you love and the bands you used to follow decreases. This whole revival of 70s and 80s bands is about those people that now have big children (some of them adults) and now they once again have the time to follow their passions. They raised their children, they studied, advanced in their careers, they now have steady incomes and instead of just following a daily routine consisting of sleep-work-eat, they prefer to go back to the good old teenage times by following the artists they so much admired. Sure, exceptions can be found anywhere, but this is the trend. New generations come with different mentality and a different approach towards the music they like. They come with their own sounds. But the old-generation, until helping the new ones stand with their feet on the ground, they have less time to go to concerts and less money to buy a CD or a vinyl of the bands they loved. Who says otherwise, they do not know how costly is to raise a child these days.

Some of these bands, more or less aware of this inevitable change experimend with different sounds. This made the remaining traditional fans rejecting them, and most of them were no that succesful in attracting the new generation either. Some of them went so high in their hey-day that it was impossible for them to completely fall back to their status before becoming mainstream. In the end this is the effect of all trends. You have the moment of inception, you have the culmination point, and you have the inevitable downful. But since life is unpredictable, you never know when people will ask for you to once again pick up the guitar and do some more gigs or release more albums.

I agree, that's why I am single and don't have a kids, I still listen same bands, new same genre bands , but venom problem is one guitar in many cases (only where it works is Grace Digger, Black Sabbath) are way to week and such music, they care more about enertaning and basically are posers, what piss me of they thinks they are only BM band when we know real BM how it sounds like. ... but that problem whit sound has all NWOBHM bands .. Diamon Head , take a C4 and blow all their records no big deal, Raven, Tank who survived, I wonder how
Iron maiden, Saxon only ones from UK who survived and had famose even Saxon mid 90's albums were weak / week

So...M-Pire of Evil changes their name to create confusion. Got it.
Actually, if this sounds anything like M-Pire of Evil it will be a better representation of Venom than Venom.

Totally a redundant act, Venom is not considered timeless. Btw, the logo looks totally Venom ! it's an infringement of copyright. Who is the copyright owner of the brand name "Venom" anyway ? Cronos ?
