Cronos

Cronos the band was formed by Cronos the man, bassist/vocalist for the legendary Venom, after his departure from that band in the late eighties. With the two replacement Venom guitarists in tow, Cronos decided to pursue a more straightahead metal sound with his new band, rather than continuing the grimy thrash/black sound of his former mates. Cronos' vocals are not radically different from his Venom days, but indeed the songs are more in the classic NWOBHM mold. The band recorded two albums with the original lineup, then reverted to a trio to record the Venom album, a collection of previous Cronos and Venom tracks redone. Also recorded was an album entitled Triumvirate which was never released. By 1997 Cronos the man was back in the reformed Venom and this band was officially laid to rest.
