In a recent talk with Consequence of Sound, Venom frontman Cronos revealed why he never talks about the meaning of the bands songs.

He said:
“We have a lot of fans who like to dissect the lyrics and work out what certain meanings are and things. I’m not going to take that away from them.
“You never see a novelist who releases a novel then release a second book to explain the novel. It just doesn’t happen. That’s for your interpretation.
“I always write songs that have a few different meanings, so you can read into them depending on what kind of standpoint you want to come from. I mean, I can do a three-hour interview on one song alone. I’m not going to be able to sum it up for you in a minute.”
New album
Venom released a new album titled “Storm The Gates” through Spinefarm Records.
“Storm The Gates” follows “From The Very Depths”, 2015. It will be the third work of the band with the current lineup, composed by Rage on guitar, Danté on drums and, of course, Cronos on vocals and bass.
“We always say that a song has to meet, it has to develop,” says Cronos, about “Storm The Gates” and the three-year break between the new album and its predecessor. “We had almost three years with these compositions, accelerating a bit, slowing down a bit, changing the lyrics, adding breaks, moving verses.”
I'm a Brazilian journalist who always loved Classic Rock and Heavy Metal music. That passion inspired me to create Rock and Roll Garage over 6 years ago.
Music has always been a part of my life, helping me through tough times and being a support to celebrate the good ones. When I became a journalist, I knew I wanted to write about my passions.
After graduating in journalism from the Pontifical Catholic University of Minas Gerais, I pursued a postgraduate degree in digital communication at the same institution. The studies and experience in the field helped me improve the website and always bring the best of classic rock to the world!
