UK metal legends Venom have announced their 16th studio album, Into Oblivion, and have unleashed the single “Lay Down Your Soul” in advance of the LP’s arrival on May 1st.
Into Oblivion, not to be confused with Lamb of God’s new album of the same name, marks Venom’s first new recording in eight years, following up 2018’s Storm the Gates.
The song “Lay Down Your Soul” recalls Venom’s early sound, with frontman Cronos stating, “I think it’s healthy to recognize things from back in the day and bring them into a new setting that gives it a whole fresh approach. The fans are going to go mental for it!’

Cronos added of Into Oblivion, “I’m so proud of this album, it’s astounding! It feels so different, yet so familiar. The sonics are a step up, no song sounds the same, but they all work together.”
