British extreme metal pioneers Venom have announced the title for their upcoming studio album as "Metal Black." The albums is slated to be released in March 2006 on Castle Records/Sanctuary Group.

The albums features original member Cronos as well as drummer Antton and guitarist Mykvs. "The album has a very raw feel. The intensity of the songs is awesome. We recorded the album as a live band, three demons bleeding for the heaviest metal we could create, and our new album will show that VENOM keeps getting stronger and heavier. Lay down your souls, muthafuckers, we have returned," Mykvs comments.
