Originally released on CD by Evil Records in 1991, “Envenom” represented the culmination of work and dedication to the band’s craft that founding members Gezol and Elizaveat had initiated in the early 1980s and carried through multiple band name and lineup changes over the course of nearly a decade. In retrospect, the album also marks a significant transition in the band’s long history, as it is both the first studio recording that includes current drummer Zorugelion and the final significant recording that features longtime guitarist and songwriter Elizaveat. This is, simply put, a milestone in Japanese metal and a worldwide cornerstone of evil metal in all itsa forms. A perfect and mandatory record for fans of Venom, Mercyful Fate, Angel Witch and Nifelheim!
