Venom album has been released, not to be confused with Venom, Inc., another offshoot of the original Venom. This is the band that has retained the original name Venom — the one which features original member Cronos. It’s a little confusing how there are two iterations of the band operating today; still, the amount of music the group has produced since the split is impressive, and the band for sure is a big part of the reason black metal was birthed into the thrash scene and then became its own beast.
