Pioneering black metal outfit Venom have set “Into Oblivion” as the title to their forthcoming 16th studio outing. The band’s frontman and mastermind Conrad “Cronos” Lant commented. “This album has really pushed the boundaries, but if you want to make a killer album, you pay for it in blood, sweat and tears.”
Guitarist/vocalist Stuart “Rage” Dixon added, “‘I’m so proud of this album, it’s astounding! It feels so different, yet so familiar. The sonics are a step up, no song sounds the same, but they all work together.”
“Lay Down Your Soul” is is the first single out from that record and is available to stream below. Cronos said of it, “I think it’s healthy to recognise things from back in the day and bring them into a new setting that gives it a whole fresh approach. The fans are going to go mental for it!”
“Into Oblivion” will be arriving on May 01st via Noise/BMG. Notably, it is not the only prominent new metal album titled “Into Oblivion” due out this year, as Lamb Of God‘s twelfth studio album also carries that title and will be out on March 13th.
