There is no doubt that Venom is the creator of any extreme metal. "Witching Hour" included in their debut album "Welcome to Hell" released in 1981, can be called the world's first slash song, despite its strong influence from motorheads. Des Metal Pioneer, Des in Florida, was originally the band name mantas, derived from Venom guitarist mantas. And when it comes to the black metal genre, the genre name comes from Venom's second album "Black Metal" (1982). Every extreme metal starts with Venom and cannot exist, either directly or indirectly, there is an extreme metal band that is not affected by Venom.
However, it is Venom Inc. that releases the album called "Ave" this time, not Venom. What does it mean? The four studio albums mentioned above, "Welcome to Hell", "Black Metal", and "At War with Satan" (1984), "Possessed" (1985), were made of three so-called original Venoms: Cronus (Ba, Vo), mantas (Gu), and Abadon (Dr). However, starting with the withdrawal of mantas after the release of Possessed, then Cronus withdrew, suspended, and at the end of the festival, Cronus resurrected and had three originals, but Abadon exited, mantas exited, and now only one of the three remains in Venom. In other words, the Equalities of Venom-Cronus have been established recently. But mantas, who wrote most of the songs of "Welcome to Hell" and "Black Metal" in mantas, has the pride of himself being worthy of being Venom. That's why Venom Inc. is a band that began with a collection of the fifth album "Prime Evil" (1989) trio called Demoistion Man instead of mantas, Abadon, and Cronus. Well, now that the history of metal has become more complicated for a long time, it is no longer unusual or nothing to fight for the original family.
Venom Inc. was originally planned for 15 years as a one-night-only project for the festival called Keep It True in Germany. But no matter how much he lacks, mantas and Abadon will reunite after about twenty years, and Venom will play famous songs. It is natural that thousands of fans who came there were great enthusiasm, and Venom Inc. was flooded with love calls from all over the world. After all, they decided to continue their activities with them. The tour, which became a hot topic for playing songs from Venom's two major classical albums, "Welcome to Hell" and "Black Metal," came here in Japan in 2015. Eventually, as we continue the tour, the desire to create new albums within the band and the fans would like to listen to new albums. Venom Inc., which started as a one-night project, became a live band that lets you listen to famous songs from the past, and finally decided to fully return to work. The result is "Ave", which will be the debut album under the name of Venom Inc.
