Definately new turn in Venom's music, more melodic, less thrashy. Hard-core fans did not like it but I still think this album is very good. And of course you can always listen to the great "Welcome to Hell" or "Black Metal" albums. This is just something new, different. Like it or not, it is their fifth studio album :-)

BEFORE YOU COMMENT TO THIS VIDEO:
1. If you don't like it - just give a thumb down, do not mock it
2. No religious zealots allowed, this is about music, not your sunday pedo-molesting indoctrination
3. No arguments about Venom being thrash or black metal. Music is thrash, lyrics black. Get on with it
Enjoy the greatness of the metal gods!!
