Coming on the heels of an October touring announcement, heavy metal pact Venom Inc establishes their dark reign once more with latest single “There’s Only Black”.

A video has further aided the single’s preparation in release. It showcases various subjects who are prone to being swallowed by a form of darkness; with children and women bleeding jet black tears from their empty sockets as the video’s plotline furthers itself into doomsday.

Generally, the new track serves as both lead single and title track off their latest album There’s Only Black (2022). It possesses the classic flavor that makes the band dark and extreme; even draws a morsel of comparison to the early 2000s content by Pantera per their then-said-to-be final album Reinventing the Steel (2000).

But don’t get things twisted, Venom Inc still stands on their own even in wake of certain lineup and stage name changes.

Avoiding confusion from their core audience, Venom Inc is an offspring group from the 1970s-founded metal band Venom. The difference here is that Venom Inc comprises former longtime Venom members Jeff “Mantas” Dunn and Tony “Demolition Man” Dolan, alongside Jeramie Kling; whereas simply Venom comprises Conrad “Cronos” Lant, Stuart “Rage” Dixon and Danny “Dante” Needham.

The band came up with the name through management and founding members of the original Venom pact. A decision for this came about when discussions of touring were in order to promote Venom Inc’s library of head-bashing tunes.

The three-piece collective have been on non-stop tour since 2015 and are due to enter the arena for more venues this October by way of the anticipated There’s Only Black Across America 2022 Tour. Dates and locations for the series are as followed:
