Album Notes & Community Reviews

Venom stretched their primitive black metal origins to their absolute limit with this highly ambitious, conceptual thrash metal record. Dominated by its massive, twenty-minute title track, the album delivers incredibly aggressive, Satanic storytelling over raw, violently energetic speed metal riffs.
