Remastered, Limited Edition 2CD with Bonus Tracks This is the expanded edition of the CD that was originally released in 1997. This CD
marked the reunion of the original lineup of Cronos, Mantas and
Abaddon, includes the original album and bonus disc of re-recorded
classics.
Venom, one of those legendary bands from United Kingdom. The most interesting fact
about that band is that they have created the word (well, compound
word): black metal. Why did I choose to review this album than Black
Metal or At War With Satan?? It’s because it features the last album
with the original line up from the first era album (last album where
they all featured in was Possessed in 95) and after 13 long years, they
decided to work together and give us Cast In Stone. Indeed, the
structure and style of the songs haven’t changed, but the only thing
different from Possessed and Black Metal is that it’s more violent, more
evil, more everything HUH! We begin the album with an evil one, heavy
guitar riff with an incredible heavy bass sound, such riffs being mostly
all along the album which makes it more violent than ‘raw’ than the
first one. There are some violent fast tracks (Fly of the Hydra is the
perfect example) which make the album much more original &
polyvalent than the previous, as shown for tracks 6 and 14, made by
Abaddon (surely planned for his solo project if anyone's heard it, it's
kind of electronic heavy techno) that we can hear a big different. He
gives us some tribal drum at the beginning with weird ambient in the
middle of the sound, something we've never heard from the other album.
Swarm, interesting song and original too with some Egyptian whispering
behind a little electronic drum beat mixed with some winds and the song
ends with an incredible solitary swell of ambience which gives the album
that punch of darkness. The drumming style of Abaddon hasn't changed
over the years and the same goes for Cronos with his vocals, why change
something which already works well. That’s why I’ve chosen this album
than the other, all the songs give us something new and original than
the previous and even the new ones. All tracks on this album deserve a
few listens because they are all different, we can’t say ‘hey that track
almost has the same riff as their song X’.
