Customer Reviews

Venom:Metal Black
I really hate to give one my favorite bands a mediocre review.
But this is the first venom album that didn't keep my attention.

It certainly isn't their best nor a successor to welcome to hell, black metal,or war with satan.
Which i originally had hopes for,considering the albums title.

These tracks are in my opinion are the cream of the top.
1.Antechrist
5.Rege Satanas
6.Darkest Realm
8.Assassin

Their prior album "Resurrection" is far more powerful.

If your a "DIE HARD" (pun intended) venom fan its a must have.
Just dont expect the coming of the "Antechrist" (puns just roll out,sorry) while listening to it

Closest thing to Black Metal
While it is clearly not as good as Black Metal and there is no Mantas or Abbaddon. Metal Black should steal your soul.

Opposite, Yes
Fitting that they reversed the title, because this album bears no resemblance to the masterpiece to which it alludes. There is some redeeming value here -- like Darkest Realm -- but not much. Trying to strip down modern recording just for the sake of re-capturing something is an admission (to me) that Cronos just doesn't have it anymore. Re-hashed lyrics, re-hashed riffs, put to sub-standard recording adds up to a mess of an album...go back and re-visit the original and see if you don't agree.
