Venom Inc. recently announced their return to the US this summer for their "Better To Reign In Hell" tour. The trek will kick off on June 22 in Dallas Texas and make its way up the west coast performing in Phoenix, San Diego, and Seattle before concluding in Denver on July 9.
Joining the band on the summer run are Exhumed (6/22-7/2), Acid Witch, Enforced, and Wormwith (7/3-7/8).
Venom Inc. comments: "Legions of Hell!! Finally rescheduled after our red tape fiasco (Thank you immigration!) now we are ready and on fire!! Standby for intense and all our brutal furious assault!!!! With our amazing support card, there’s no escape now… come join us and lose your mind and remember THERE’S ONLY BLACK!!!!!!! SEE YOU VERY SOON for PART I."
Venom Inc. will be touring in support of their latest offering, There’s Only Black. Their sophomore album is a no-holds-barred assault on bigoted hypocrisy and conformism in today's society, as well as a demonstration of musical superiority delivered by some of the genre's true originators.
