Venom Inc | Tony talks about becoming Venom Inc, their debut album and Luciferianism

"The name VENOM is both loved and loathed in the metal world, but regardless of your take on the band they are known first and foremost as the pioneers of extreme metal as we know it. Almost 40 years after their inception, the revitalized 1989 - 1992 line-up of guitaristJeff “Mantas” Dunn, vocalist/bassist Tony “Demolition Man” Dolan and drummer Anthony “Abaddon” Bray have returned with a monster of an album, »Avé«. It’s a reunion that was unexpected at the outset - even by the band members themselves - but the end result after getting their collective legs back is an album that trueVENOM fans will gladly add to the top of their playlists.

VENOM INC. was born on April 24th, 2015 at the annual Keep It True Festival in Lauda-Königshofen, Germany. Mantas and Dolan were focused on M:PIRE OF EVIL, having invested years’ worth of blood, sweat and tears in recording and touring to keep the band alive. An offer to play Keep It True was accompanied by a request to haveAbaddon - who would be in attendance - to join the band during the set to perform some VENOM classics as a treat for the fans. Mantasand Abaddon hadn’t spoken in almost two decades, leaving Dolanto try and make the epic reunion a reality."

Ben talked to Tony Dolan about how Venom Inc came to be, their debut album, Ave Satanas, and his Luciferian beliefs.

Aired 3rd August 2017.
