Venom announce new album ‘Storm The Gates’

VENOM have announced a new album!

The upcoming album, titled Storm The Gates, is the fifteenth studio album from the iconic metallers and is scheduled to be released in December this year. The CD/digital versions of the record will be available from this date, with a deluxe double vinyl package following early in 2019.

The upcoming record was produced by Cronos himself and speaking about the album, he says, “we always say that a song has to find itself, has to develop. We’ve had nearly three years with these compositions, speeding some up, slowing some down, changing the lyrics, adding breaks, moving verses… that’s how songs grow, and that’s how you end up writing a better album. That’s why I don’t believe in releasing a record every year – you can’t possibly have let those songs develop to their full potential. These albums are going to be around a lot longer than I am, so they need to be able to stand up for themselves. With an album every year, I think you end up with two or three good songs and then a load of shit, and I certainly don’t want to release that sort of album!”

Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have launched the first single from the upcoming record; the storming Bring Out Your Dead.

Storm The Gates is set for release on December 14th via Spinefarm Records.
