 Как известно, после ухода Кроноса и других двух гитаристов, в группе остаётся один Абаддон и, как оказалось, не надолго. Абаддон решает оставить название Venom, и несколько позже ему на помощь приходит всеми подзабытый гитарист и один из сформировавших группу людей – Джефф «Мантас» Данн. Вместе с собой он приводит басиста и вокалиста Тони Долана и ритм гитариста Эла Барнса. В такой конфигурации и был записан новый, шестой по счёту, студийный альбом легендарных англичан. Некоторые фаны до сих пор считают что после ухода Кроноса Venom как таковой не существовал, я также слышал что ребята сами выступали в клубах под именем Sons Of Satan. Однако, что есть, то есть, и вот он альбом «Prime Evil»…Весьма техничный альбом, по стилю – чистый спид метал, треш метал абсолютно отсутствует, не говоря уж о блэке. Резко возрос уровень качества записи – даже на предыдущем альбоме «Calm Before The Storm» оно было ужасного образца, здесь же наоборот – отчётливо приписаны гитарные партии, а ударные плотно и мощно. Как вокалист, Тони Долан представляет собой почти идентичную копию Кроноса, разве что поёт он более мелодично, приближаясь при этом то к Бон Скотту (AC/DC), то к Крису Больтендалю (Grave Digger). Если смотреть на развитие группы в целом, то «Prime Evil» является логичным продолжением предыдущего спид металического полноформатника «Calm Before The Storm», однако в более усовершенствованном и развитом виде. Не сказать что музыкальный материал уж очень хитов, однако по меркам спид метала – музыка довольно-таки качественная и цепляющая. Могу легко выделить отличные боевики, такие как открывающий трек «Blackened Are The Priest», мелодичный номер «Harder Than Ever», великолепно перезаписанную классику «Live Like An Angel (Die Like A Devil)», необычную тему с клавишами «Megalomania» (кавер на Black Sabbath), особенно драйвовый заглавный боевик «Prime Evil», и заключительный ещё более удачный, напористый и мелодически привлекательный монстр «School Daze». В итоге имеем один из самых лучших спид металических альбомов в истории метала. Браво! Впервые со времён «Black Metal» Venom доказали что они самые настоящие легенды! А диск «Prime Evil» настоятельно рекомендую всем поклонникам олд скульного и качественного спида... |

( 1 )
The Holy scribes fortold the destiny of man,
Living coldly on the earth, disrupting ancient plans.
Well is this what we are and what we have become,
Or is the only tie ,the way we die and how we had begun?
Prime Evil,an evolutionary call,
Prime Evil,quenched in the fires of their souls,
Prime Evil,you'll never see the sun again!
Danger,Danger,that's the human call,
Growing strong and aging wise,the race can only fall,
Well is this Holy anger,bleached upon our souls,
Is this the Evil One, satan's son, gabriel's foe?
Prime Evil,an evolutionary call,
Prime Evil,quenched in the fires of their souls,
Prime Evil,you'll never see the sun again!
[SOLO/Guitar]

There was a time when hunger was mine,you'd walk the line.

You filled our heads so full of,Lies!

We always felt you were a better friend,with your riches and your smiles,
You helped to keep the wolves from the door,
You filled our heads so full of,Lies!

3. Blackened Are The Priests
Requiem Eternum,Lord of Ancients,Son of God.
Requiem Eternal,Buried in this Holy Ground.
They pray on heaven and on fire,deliver them from evil,Death.
Their keys that keep their secret safe, are lost in war and now, they pay the price!
They cannot be freed!They cry but there's no other way, to free them.
Blackened are the Priests,
of evil,drinking from their chalaces of blood,redeem them,
Blackened are the Priests.
Amist the holy cries of heaven,beneath the soddened earth,hell.
The whitened collars of the dogs, that spew forth hardy thoughts ,of life,
Ah help them!
Blackened is the mantle of the Priests.
Amen!
Blackened is the collar of the Priests.
Blackened is the collar of the Priests.
The Holy alter now of heaven,cannot deliver us from pain.
(Postman pat and his Black and White cat!)
[Solo/Bass Riff]
God help them!
The holy alter now of heaven,doth not deliver them from pain.
They cannot turn their back on hell,from the grace they fell,
all their futile efforts wane.
They cannot be freed!They cry but there's no other way, to free them.
Blackened are the Priests,
of evil,drinking from their chalaces of blood,redeem them.
Blackened are the Priests,
of evil,we try but there's no other way to free them,
Blackened are the Priests,
of evil,drinking from their chalaces of blood,redeem them,
Blackened are the Priests!
4. Carnivorous
Laughing and screaming and bathing in blood.
Ripping at throats of the damned.
Lucifer's calling awakens his dogs,
Thrust from Lord Satan's left hand!
Carving our Satanic truss.
Dipped in the pure virgin soul,
feeding on us!
CARNIVEROUS!
Centuries measured by offerings made,
and openings made in the soul.
Steel razored teeth,ripping the flesh,
feeding the ultimate goal.
And making our sacrifice
hoping the lord is appeased?
and draining the life.
CARNIVEROUS!
[SOLO/Guitar]
Screaming and crying ,awakens the beast,
rising him from his dark lair.
Pulling and tearing and ripping the flesh,
Attaining the pure virgin fair.
And carving our satanic truss.
Dipped in the pure virgins soul.
CARNIVEROUS!
5. Skeletal Dance
Transparently Obvious,tactless and trite!
You give up on life mate, your not worth the fight!
We're looking right through you to see to the soul,
but sadly in your case your only a hole!
Skeletal Dance
Skeletal Dance

Living your life by the end of a string,
You have to admit, it's not a great thing!

Except when he grins you'll see through the....

6. Megalomania
[Black Sabbath/Butler/Iommi/Osbourne/Ward]
Well I feel something's taking me,I don't know where?
It's like a trip inside a seperate mind!
The ghost of tomorrow,of my favorite dream,
Is telling me to leave it all behind!
Feel it slipping away,
Slipping in tomorrow.
Gotta get to happiness,
From the depths of sorrow.
I'm alright,am I right?
As I try to get away from you now!
Am I right?I'm alright,
As I try to get away from you now!
Sting Me!
Well I feel something's giving me the chance to return,
It's giving me the chance of saving my soul.
A big bad demigod,fading away,
I'm going back to where I'm in control!
Feel it slipping away,
Slipping in tomorrow.
Getting back to Sanity,
From the depths of sorrow.
Was it wise,to disguise,
As I try to get away from you now?
Is there a way,I can pay,
Or is it true I have to stay with you now?
Was I right,Am I right,
As I try to get away from you now?
Was it wise,to disguise,
As I try to get away from you now?
Suck Me!
I'm the King of schizophrenia,the pest of the Earth,
I singed my soul in the fires of Hell!
I feel someone eluding me,
But now it's all mine!
I set the trap and it was me who fell!
Feel it slipping away,
Slipping in tomorrow.
getting back to sanity,
From the depths of sorrow.
No more lies,I got wise,I despise the way I worship you, Yeah!
Now your free,can't you see?yeah this time I won't be led by you, Yeah!
Freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!

7. I Agree
Trapped inside Mazonic minds that simple thought denied,
No escape,no orifice,they're only drained through their eyes!
The mindless thoughts and afterglow,the scars that's left behind,
Drilled upon the cranium and sculpted deep in the mind!
How they writhe in pain,padded room of doom,
INSANE!
INSANE!
Pulling at the iron bars and tearing at the walls,
Screaming with Insanity but no-one hears the calls!
You know in truth your mind is clear but no-one's here to tell,
A frienzied madness echo's out inside your own brain-cell!
How they writhe in pain,
Padded room of doom!
Schizo
How they writhe in pain,
Padded room of doom,
INSANE!
A Venomous completion now is riddled through you veins,
Staring at the button padded walls,
INSANE!
Nothing left inside your head and empty, useless, tomb,
Here you live,alive, undead,inside your pillowed room!
How they writhe in pain,
Padded room of doom,
INSANE!
INSANE!
INSANE!
INSANE!
8. Harder Than Ever

You thought we'd given up the fight!

9. Into The Fire
Sleepless nights,drenched in sweat.
A lust for life,endless death.
We're dancing in the fire,
We're lost in the Flame.
We're lost in the Fire,
Nothing stays the same!
INTO THE FIRE!
INTO THE FIRE!
Day to night,night to day,
Lost in dreams,that fade away!
Into the fire,
We're dancing in the flame!
We're lost in the fire,
Well nothing stays the same!
INTO THE FIRE!
INTO THE FIRE!
In the night,alone and dark,deep within the source,
Tourtured feel the flames of Hell, rising to the cause!
Onbe,two,three,four!
All my life,drenched in pain!
All my needs,all the same.
We're dancing in the fire,
We're lost in the falme.
Dancing in the fire,
Well nothing stays the same!
INTO THE FIRE!
INTO THE FIRE!
INTO THE FIRE!
INTO THE FIRE!
INTO THE FIRE!

She sees how hard it gets when she lifts up her dress,
She licks her lips and says let's put it to the test?
She goes down faster than a sinking ship at sea.

Going down,teachers,teachers going down,
Woe,teachers,teachers going down.
