Venom have revealed the cover art of their forthcoming new album From The Very Depths.

The British black metal veterans announced last week that they will release their new LP via Spinefarm Records on the 14th of January.

Said frontman Cronos of the album news: “It’s a strong release and really shows the band maturing into an unstoppable force of pure black metal. We can’t wait to play the new songs live for the legions.”

“This album is perfect – all three members are totally over-the-top confident with the new songs and the production. We had a great atmosphere in the studio while we were recording.”

Says a statement accompanying the album art: “The cover is visually arresting, featuring skeletal beings bathed in red and orange tones. The image is dominated by the instantly recognizable Venom logo, and is a natural successor to the artwork for previous album, 2011’s Fallen Angels.”
