At first I was surprised that had the line-up in the form of Cronos, Rage and Dante not changed. The pointed, at least not before on great musical changes through. And since disappointment arise mostly from too high expectations I expected except a thrash album with a lot of songs stick anything. On classic back catalog should be the new disks do not really measure, the poison of the past has long run.
And even though I was not at all been prone to the first Hördurchgangen to position the album about 20 years earlier. What would have been like if * From The Very Dephts * instead of * Calm Before The Storm * appeared (see my review there) that today though somehow considered a classic, but had only cultivated boredom between the long grooves. Had there been the success of the group may be able to preserve a few years longer? Of course, such questions have only rhetorical character, since the mid-1980s were over the hungry years of Venom and creativity has been softened with too many line-up changes.
* From The Depths * Very despite some lengths become a very entertaining album. The black metal, in the form of texts, and the thrash metal, in the form of music, perfectly harmonized and conjured forth a few very strong pearl. Songs like Stigmata * Satan *, * Smoke *, * Rise * and * * Evil Law stand out pleasantly and offer good Mitgröhlpassagen. * Crucified * and * From The Very Dephts * are extremely strong songs that so meaningless songs like * Long Haired Punk *, * * and * Mephistopheles Grinding Teeth * certainly can forget considered purely subjective of course.
I forgive at this point and at this time 4 good star. Whether the album the long-term test, it will turn out in the future. A little ausgelutscht sounds * From The Very Depth * of course already, finally, the complete themes repeat even for 666sten times. However, it would not be the first album that would turn out with some time interval as undervalued masterpiece ...
