Venom 'Cast In Stone' Expanded Edition Out Via Sanctuary Records On July 18, 2006

"7 Days of Hell" North American tour confirmed for August, 2006.

Originally released in December 1997, Cast In Stone also became known as the reunion album as the original line-up of Cronos, Mantas and Abaddon put the past behind them to once again grasp black metal by the barbs.

This edition of the album has been completely remastered by Cronos, who also presides over the entire artistic direction. As per the original release, a bonus disc of classic re-recorded Venom tracks is retained but this time a further five tracks from the rare Venom '96 mini album, recorded as a limited edition release for the band's Dynamo Festival headline to 90,000
fans, are added.

The original founders of the movement that became known
as Black Metal, Venom's influence is felt far and wide throughout the world of heavy metal, molding and informing bands both old and new.

March 2006 saw the opening of a completely fresh chapter in the Venom tale with the release of the visceral, stinging Metal Black, an album that has turned metal on its head once more.
