ELVENKING release VENOM cover "Prime Evil", featuring Tony Dolan & Snowy Shaw
01-12-2023
Following the release of their latest, eleventh studio album, “Reader Of The Runes – Rapture” (released in April 2023 on AFM Records), heavy metal, pagan, folk and melodic death metal fusionists Elvenking have suprised fans with a cover version of VENOM‘s ‘Prime Evil’. But, this isn’t just another cover, the Elvenking version also features guest appearances of former VENOM and current VENOM INC singer and bassist Tony “Demolition Man” Dolan, and Snowy Shaw (ex-Mercyful Fate, ex-King Diamond).
Stream ‘Prime Evil’ below.
As ELVENKING revealed, “it is a special song in many ways, starting from the fact that it is a love letter to a band and to a specific moment in time when metal was in fact imprinting our lives indefinitely. The second special aspect of this recording is the lineup. It is a surprise and a metal-dream come true for us since it sees Tony Dolan “Demolition Man” on vocals + bass (he was the original singer and bass player of Venom in the era in which this album was released and now he is still kicking with Venom Inc.), Snowy Shaw (ex-Mercyful Fate, ex-King Diamond, ex-Memento Mori, etc.) on drums, Damna on vocals + rhythm guitars, Aydan on solo guitar + keyobards and Lethien on the violin.”
