BLACK IN THE USA
Yes, it´s official...Venom have confirmed they will be headlining the Maryland Death Festival which takes place during the last weekend of May 2013.
The Black Metal Godz last played Live in America in 2006 on their 10 Commandments Tour, although other show commitments have prevented them from returning sooner. As yet no other US dates are being planned during this period, so this show at MDF XI could be a one off spectacular.

CANCELLED - SOUTH AMERICA 2012
Venom´s Management have announced that the band will not be playing live in South America this April as planned. Unfortunately the Visas for the band and the crew have not been issued in time which prevents them from working in the country. Everyone is devasteted by the news.
In a brief statement Cronos raged: "this is bullshit. I´ve been told our visa approvals were sent to africa by mistake, how the fuck can that happen? We´ve heard that some of the other bands have also had problems with their visas. i´m fucking livid about this!"
In a futher statement the bands Management added:
"Everyone is shocked by the reports that are coming in about the MOA Festival in Brazil, we hope everyone there stays safe and the authorities get to the bottom of this disaster. We have now contacted our lawyers for advice".
Venom would like to thank all their Legions in Brazil, Ecuador and Chile for their support, and hope to come back to South america in the near future for an extensive tour.
