{"product_id":"venom-blackened-priests-uk-cd","title":"Venom - Blackened Priests (Uk) [CD]","description":"\u003cp\u003e37 track, three disc set from extreme metal icons Venom. Featuring three full length studio albums released after the departure of lead singer and bassist Cronos, replaced for these recordings by Tony 'The Demolition Man' Dolan. CD 1 features their 1989 full length recording 'Prime Evil', (including bonus tracks in the form of the 'Tear Your Soul Apart' EP) originally hailed as a triumphant return to form, while CD 2 features the follow up 'Temples Of Ice', originally released in 1991, which included a Deep Purple cover. The final disc, CD 3, features the band's 1992 full length 'The Waste Lands'. Formed in 1978 in Newcastle Upon Tyne, England, Venom blazed a trail for a raw hybrid form of punk and metal, wrapped in an overtly Satanic image that is now credited with starting the Black Metal genre, as well as being an influence on the thrash and speed metal scenes that followed. Derided by the media but beloved of fans wanting a harder and faster fix of metal, Venom released three classic LP's is quick succession; 'Welcome To Hell' (1981), 'Black Metal' (1982) and 'At War With Satan' (1984). Following a couple of patchy albums, the band split in 1986, but returned two years later with drummer Abaddon enlisting former Atomkraft frontman Tony Dolan on bass and vocal duties, together with returning original guitarist Mantas, backed by new recruit Al Barnes. The four- piece signed with Music for Nations imprint Under One Flag and unleashed the 'Prime Evil' record, which included a Black Sabbath cover. That album is bolstered here with the addition of six tracks from 1990's 'Tear Your Soul Apart' EP, including a Judas Priest cover. This release is complimented with the addition of liner notes from writer Darren Sadler, who conducted brand new interviews with Tony Dolan and Al Barnes. Barnes also contributed photos from his personal archive. Dolan, Abaddon and Mantas formed Venom Inc. In 2015 from the ashes of Mpire of Evil and have released two albums to date. The band continues to tour globally, although Mantas recently left the lineup. Cronos meanwhile, tours under the Venom name with an alternative line up, the two acts co-existing uneasily, but both keeping the Venom name alive and active.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrime Evil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eParasite\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlackened Are the Priests\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarnivorous\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSkeletal Dance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMegalomania\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInsane\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHarder Than Ever\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInto the Fire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSkool Daze\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLive Like An Angel - Die Like a Devil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSkool Daze\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBurstin' Out (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Ark\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCivilised\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAngel Dust (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHellbent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTribes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEven in Heaven\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrinity MCMXLV 0530\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn Memory of (Paul Miller 1964-90)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFaerie Tale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlaytime\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArachnid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpeed King\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTemples of Ice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCursed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI'm Paralysed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack Legions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRiddle of Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeed to Kill\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKissing the Beast\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrucified\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShadow King\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWolverine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClarisse\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5013929025769\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dissonance\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.27.25\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Rock Band Merch","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52200776499431,"sku":"614647","price":45.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.triathletestore.com\/es-mx\/products\/venom-blackened-priests-uk-cd","provider":"Triathlete Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
