Album Notes & Community Reviews

Marking a devastating evolution from their earlier, more traditional hardcore output, the Swedish group incorporated crushing, sludgy dissonance and deeply misanthropic atmospheres on 'Venom'. The suffocatingly heavy riffing and venomous vocal deliveries laid crucial foundational groundwork for the looming post-metal explosion.

Descriptors: satanism, sludge, dissonant, abrasive, bleak, relentless
