UK Extreme Metal pioneers, VENOM INC., featuring original VENOM guitarist Jeff “Mantas” Dunn (guitar) and ex-VENOM bassist/vocalist Tony “Demolition Man” Dolan, has released their new single “How Many Can Die”, alongside a lyric video. The track is taken from the band’s sophomore album, “There’s Only Black”, which will be released on September 23rd via Nuclear Blast Records.
“There’s Only Black” is the VENOM INC. album to feature American drummer Jeramie “War Machine” Kling, who joned the band in early 2018.
The new album was recorded between England, Portugal and America with guitarist Jeff “Mantas” Dunn at the production helm once again.
Tony “Demolition Man” Dolan comments: “Following Wacken in 2019, our live season closed giving us time where I could have my hip replacement surgery and we could take the recovery time to work on a new album… Little did anyone know we’d be hit by a pandemic that would pause the whole world.
We began our work at a pace, then being locked down with no prospect of live shows, I decided there was no need to rush it along but utilize the time to create without the pressure of live work looming.
So we began recording our songs .. and after producing twice the amount required, we began editing, touching, improving, and polishing until we had until we finally had what we decided was THE correct album along with the label and here we can finally present to you .. a pure ball of furious… VENOM INC. power that left us feeling proud and excited at the same time…THIS album is now yours!!! And as the world runs through its evolution of its colors, remember… when the sun goes out…THERE’S ONLY BLACK!!!!! AVE.”
