Venom are back — and forty-five years after their formation in Newcastle, they continue to prove they’ve lost none of their original venom. The band that paved the way for extreme metal and invented black metal is back with *Into Oblivion*, their sixteenth studio album. It is their first release of new music since *Storm the Gates* in 2018, and features the line-up we know so well: Cronos on bass and vocals, Rage on guitar and Dante on drums. To discuss all this, we had a chat with Rage.
