This album was the debut time for me hearing this band: VENOM. It dates back to 1984 (20th Century) when as a teenager, I travelled across the State to find it and staying with friends between two places. It was on a Italian cassette label and they spelled it wrong in the publishing print shop. It read off: "Venon" the glued on label was orange with black words printed on the label made of thin paper, it wasn't printed directly to the plastic. So I got it in Binghamton, NY in the Mall of theirs for $10.00. When I got home and played it. Fell in love with it since and still today a very strong record ing. It felt a little slow with the sound effects on the tracks with spoken words. But the momentum got stronger and heavier. It felt pretty cool. Which today I have it on CD. (and most of their other titles on CD too.) 😁 It's a highly recommended to ALL new fans of age. 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻

Thanks to the Google Search App., I found what I was looking for. This was 'a hard to find item' be on a CD. Genre: BDM/Slam. One of the first bands from China. This release has so many good songs. The first five tracks are the best ones. The guitars are really superb. And the drummer has a kit, that is outstanding on some of the songs on this release. I like the artwork cover... it looks like what Polar Bears do to Seals. And the vocals do sound like a walrus. I guess you have to read the lyrics as you go along. But they do have the best elements in some of their songs which is really cool and so much interesting to listen too. There is 10 songs on this release that came out in 2017. I would recommend this band and this release and the bands other titles too to check out.

Being a VENOM fan since 1984 with the "Black Metal" title being on a Italian orange label imported from Italy. I followed VENOM for many decades. This release among other former releases which some are very good. I found that the songs on this album is really cool and I always find myself repeating this album over and over in my CD player. One of the best (IMHO) is the songs title track called: "From The Very Depths..." & "Crucified" There's many of other real mayhem songs on this album with a very excellent drummer!! I think he is the best drummer after Abaddon that they ever had this guy... Dante (DJ Needham) surely knows his skills. Cronos still sounds young in his powerhouse vocals. There's another VENOM title that should be mentioned which is also very heavy which is: "Cast In Stone" that is a 2CD Set with one disc being at the time, new material. And the second disc is a remake of their early recordings in a more improved studio. From The Very Depths -- The art-work on the cover is superb. And I always enjoyed their artistic design in their moniker name. It is very recommended! 😎 6.2.24

Here's a 5 star rating for one excellent release so far own and previously heard. 💯 Their entire album is excellent in every songs on this release. It has a great feeling to this brand of music, aka brutal death metal/slam. I am not at all disappointed in none of the songs and I really enjoy the wrap around artwork. All the guitars and the pounding drums are all here too. 👏🏻😎👍🏻

Excellent!! One of the heaviest slam bands ever heard so far. It is highly recommended. I am not at all disappointed in this release. 💯🤘🏻😎🤘🏻🔥⚡

Only if you enjoy brutal death metal?! Aka "Slam" This release is awesome. Which I program my favorite tracks in my player on a daily basis. Very fast drumming with cool rapid fire guitars and with excellent vocals. The song lyrics are well written and one of them is kinda catchy. It's gonna take a few listens to become immune to the disc. The artwork is very cool that the whole product has a nice white texture to it... Nothing hard to read and comprehension is most easy. I gave the release 5 stars since it deserves that kind of ratings. Ten songs I found to be the most beasts songs ever. It's very recommended!! 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻 💯 April 2024
