Review by Ded Bolt for Venom - Hell (2008)

Take it from a huge Venom fan, this is NOT a very good starting point for newbies. In fact, you might want to make this one of your final Venom purchases if possible. As if Abaddon's drumming wasn't bad enough back in the day, Antton (Cronos' brother) is even worse on this effort. Unsteady, sloppy and metre-challenged, Antton is at the core of what's wrong with this album. Couple that with Rage's unimaginative riffing and Hell is what you get. I'm truly disappointed in this lackluster release.
