C'mon, the best title they could come up with was "Metal Black"?! Ooooh, they reversed the words of their way overrated garbage album "Black Metal" Those fucking morons, they're such an embarrassment to metal and music in general. They're about as evil as King Diamond is a talented heterosexual vocalist.

was it like the dirty rough style of early Venom or like the "Resurrection" album where they tried playing tight and more "modern" thrash, with lots of double bass, etc?
i really wish the old bands (Motorhead, Venom, etc.) wouldn't feel the need to update their sound and compete with more recent thrash outfits.
a return to the old sound would be awesome.
cheers.

In the demo you hear that. One of the reasons I like Venom. They intro their songs with the demon voice dude.
Antechrist sounds good. Can't wait for the rest.

I picked up a Venom CD. There was a song where they were chanting, "We are in league with satan." I laughed and threw it away. Have not bothered with them since. :D

Oddly similar title to the great Bathory song "A Fine Way To Die".. Anyways, I've never loved Venom but I do find some of their stuff pretty decent. I'll give this album a listen.
