Venom - Calm Before The Storm Lyrics
I can smell the fear
Hear the screams of pain
I must kill or be meat
I'll say to you
On this planet of dirt
This is our place
The last of the human race
Children of disgrace
Now can you all hear me say
There's a calm before the storm
Don't say that you ain't been warned
A calm before the storm
And it's coming for you
Is there life after death
Do you ask yourself
This is our place
The last of the human race
Children of disgrace
Now can you all hear me say
There's a calm before the storm
Don't say that you ain't been warned
A calm before the storm
And it's coming for you
I have smelled the fear
Heard the screams of pain
This is our place
The last of the human race
Children of disgrace
Now can you all hear me say
There's a calm before the storm
Don't say that you ain't been warned
A calm before the storm
And it's coming for you
There's a calm before the storm

Venom Calm Before The Storm Comments
39 posers gave it a thumbs down. FK EM!!! VENOM TIL DEATH 🤘
This album was called "Calm Before the Storm" because according to Cronos, this new stuff was so heavy they started calling their previous albums "The Calm" and this was "The Storm", lol.
I really like this album but to claim it was heavier was such a hot take after being angry at Mantas (who had made like 80% of their previous work).
1. Black Xmas
When the snow turns black
I'll be back - I'll be here
Between the blinking of an eye
When the screams attack
Welcome back - Cavalier
Before the newborn starts to cry
And it's all in the eyes of a child
Flaming star or the call of the wild
Black Xmas - Devils Eve
The whispers in the breeze
Black Xmas - Devil's wine
The river bleeds in time
Where the red clouds chase
That's the place - In a dream
Across the suns hot blazing sky
Where he hides his face
In disgrace - For his queen
He must choose the way she dies
And they say when his eyes turn to green
He'll awake living sin never seen
Watches over you
That's the clue - To believe
An instant and you're hypnotised
Watch his eyes look through
False or true - To deceive
You take his place you're crucified
Black Xmas - Devils Eve
The whispers in the breeze
Black Xmas - Devil's wine
The river bleeds in time
Black Xmas - Devil's wine
Black Xmas
2. The Chanting Of The Priests
Watch out -
There's a cry from Atlantis
Takes the wind by surprise
Voices so demanding
Thunder swarms the skies
To the north of horizon
Over mountains at east
There's a call to the lost ones
From the elders deceased
We're chanting - They're chanting
It's in a tear - Outside a prayer
Without form it's haunting the air
It's in a kiss - within a bite
It brings the darkness into light
The chanting of the priests
The chanting of the priests
Watch out -
It's a song for Olympus
Cracks the morpheus dream
It oozes the ozone
Heavenly screaems
By the golden waterfall
Through the fog on the ice
There's a voice in the shell call
It's demanding precise
We're chanting - They're chanting
The chanting of the priests
Yells ascend into the sleeping
Screech the hawk relpies
Shudders pound the marching hearts
In reborn synchronize
Held in force the feeding prism
Triangle diaboli
Catalogues the souls inside
The city in the sea
Watch Out -
Where there's life without presence
There's a voice without sound
Deep inside you can't feel it
Yet it's all around
Through the eye of the pharoah
To the tombs in the sand
There's a force in the distance
Calls you to the sacred land
The chanting of the priests
3. Metal Punk
Metal Punk is rising wild
Antenae scouts the way
Ready for the danger
In the game he has to play
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
Nowhere to live
No time to die
Metal Punk
Metal Punk - Feel it
Metal Punk - C'mon
Metal Punk - Take it
Metal Punk
Metal Punk dilates the cries
A message all is well
The changes take their place
Amongst the sentinel
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
Nowhere to live
No time to die
Metal Punk
Metal Punk - Feel it
Metal Punk - C'mon
Metal Punk - Take it
Metal Punk
Metal Punk
Metal Punk animalize
Metal Punk watch his eyes
Metal make a punk of me
For satanic majesty
Savage mind
Damage child
Boiling high
Metal Punk
4. Under A Spell
You know she only plays beneath the night of day
Weaving her deadly web of lies to tempt her pray
Her deadly poison rots the reason in your mind
You contribute towards the future of her kind
Oh no - Don't you believe her - Look out
She is the fire - Heavenly hell
You can't resist - Under her spell
So inviting - The angels fell
She lets you in - Under her spell
But you can't see behind the schemes
You thought you'd fell into a dream
You should have taken more care
Can't you see your dreams - They're a nightmare
The angels fell - Heavenly hell - Under a spell
Caught - Under a spell - Under a spell
You know she's dangerous between her smiles and grace
Her charms adventurous with schizophrenic lies
And then her final trick the noose that she has tied
Oh no - Don't you believe her - Look out
She is the fire - Heavenly hell
You can't resist - Under her spell
So inviting - The angels fell
She lets you in - Under her spell
[Repeat Verse 1 & Chorus]
The angels fell - Heavenly hell - Under a spell
Caught - Under a spell - Under a spell
You're caught
5. Calm Before The Storm
I can smell the fear
Hear the screams of pain
I must kill or be meat
I'll say to you
On this planet of dirt
Number one comes first
This is our place
The last of the human race
Children of disgrace
Now can you all hear me say
There's a calm before the storm
Don't say that you ain't been warned
A calm before the storm
And it's coming for you
Is there life after death
Do you ask yourself
This is our place
The last of the human race
Children of disgrace
Now can you all hear me say
There's a calm before the storm
Don't say that you ain't been warned
A calm before the storm
And it's coming for you
I have smelled the fear
Heard the screams of pain
This is our place
The last of the human race
Children of disgrace
Now can you all hear me say
There's a calm before the storm
Don't say that you ain't been warned
A calm before the storm
And it's coming for you
There's a calm before the storm
6. Fire
Take my hand and we'll be one
It's a chance in a million
Don't be scared on our way down
You'll belong to the hellion
Black your tears dry on me
Friend or foe or liar
Fire - In hell fire - Fire
Hear my tale and walk with me
Answer not to oblivion
Ask your stars your destiny
Shining down on Marillion
Red your eyes look for me
Scream the demon's choir
Search your soul for we're the same
Don't believe you're a warrior
Let me kick your mind insane
Hell's my unholy abattoir
Give your services to me
Burning feeds my buyers
Fire - Fire - Burning in fire - Fire - Hell fire
7. Krakin Up
You want to be the master blaster
Killing yourself to win
You let your body sweat burn faster
Moulding a god of sin
You've got the madness and the glory
And now your heart's pounding blood
You're living your own story
You know it does you good
Krakin Up - Krakin Up - Krakin Up - Krakin Up
You put yourself through hours of torture
Increasing mindless pain
You soon become a demon vulture
You're getting greedy for gain
Krakin Up - Krakin Up - Krakin Up - Krakin Up
You've got the madness and the glory
Killing yourself to win
You're always living your own story
Moulding a god of sin
You want to be the master blaster
And now your heart's pounding blood
You let your body sweat burn faster
You know it does you good
Krakin Up - Krakin Up - Krakin Up - Krakin Up
8. Beauty And The Beast
He watches witches weaving wonders
Inside their crystal balls of thunder
Seeing the future past and present
Of messages the universe sends
They summon through the sphere
A child so fair so virgin pure
They summon me my slave
Bring her to their lure
The beauty and the beast
The beauty and the beast
She calls christ in churches crimson
But I can see the blood on your sins
I've got to take her - Leave her - Take her
Tell me the price if I deliver
They guide me through the lake
By one a slave of flesh
They summon his return
In vain wasting their breath
The beauty and the beast
The beauty and the beast
They cast countless conjurations
He didn't sign the pact the fact is
Their screams of failure fade to whispers
Trying to heal their mental blisters
They summon through the sphere
A child so fair so golden pure
They didn't realise
This was the demon's cure
The beauty and the beast
The beauty and the beast
9. Deadline
I lust a princess - A crystal queen
Virginal whiteness is all that I dream
To make a contact - I'm dying to feel
My magic snow - Show me your real
Watch out - You there
She makes you feel good
Don't you care
Inside - Can't fight it
You bring your money and be there
For the deadline now
It's a deadline now
For the midnight frost
It's a deadline now
It's a deadline
Give me an angel - Blow me a breeze
You walk on silver - Travel the seas
Hunting a killer - It's a jungle disease
Watching in marvel you'll steal her release
Watch out - You there
She makes you feel good
Don't you care
Inside - Can't fight it
You bring your money and be there
For the deadline now
It's a deadline now
For the midnight frost
It's a deadline now
It's a deadline now
My mind's in torment - Something's not clear
I take my godess where nobody hears
She sees right through me - She's in my mind
Mother of madness - Immortals blind
Watch out - You there
She makes you feel good
Don't you care
Inside - Can't fight it
You bring your money and be there
For the deadline now
It's a deadline now
For the midnight frost
It's a deadline now
It's a deadline now
It's a deadline now
It's a deadline now
It's a deadline now
10. Gypsy
Gypsy woman calls me
Caution leads the way
Reads from a book of night and day
Words or endless stories
Crystals in her gaze
Shows me of a place inside a maze
Cities golden splendor
Only life surrender
Candles all around me
Mountains in the sky
This is the place where life's a lie
Wakes in mortuary
Gasping in the air
Wind breathes words - She's not there
Deserts vast and barren
Still the witches jargon
Promises of splendor
Just my life surrender
She's a gypsy
Blinding lights flash at me
Wake me from this dream
I can't believe this place is real
Fires in stormy weather
Silver shields the rain
Her grip so tight that my life drains
Nectar from the serpent
Poison messages sent
Psylocybin splendor
Never life surrender
She's a gypsy
11. Muscle
Get this - Hey you girl looking at me
Stop your staring unless you're free
I need someone who fits just right
I need to get it on - tonight
Wanna hear it - All I wanna do is open you up wide
Put some great white muscle - In between your thighs
Hey you child what's your game
All this is physical no need to know your name
I need someone who fits just right
I need a woman yeah - tonight
Let me hear it - All I wanna do is open you up wide -
Put some great white muscle - In between your -
I need a woman who can last the night
I need to get it on -
C'mon play with a white man yeah
Get this - Hey you girl looking at me
Stop your staring unless you're free
I need someone who fits just right
I need to get it on - tonight
Wanna hear it - All I wanna do is open you up wide
Put some great white muscle - In between your thighs
2019. Still listening to Venom. Still love this album. Different, yes...but it still jams. LEGIONS!
Fuck the best album
El mejor álbum de Venom
36:14 the part your neighbours will love more
I used to have this on LP, definitely didn't give it a fair chance and sold it on. Listening to it now, it sounds great! I like Deadline a lot. Probably going to have to re-buy it.
I remember buying this when it first came out. Such a disappointment. Listening to it now, and it's better than what I remember. Still not near as good as what came before, but still better than their last two or three offerings. However, Venom Inc's album Ave' is a beast, can't wait for the new one.
Fire!!!!!!!!!!!
The cover of this album is similar to Ride the Lightning, released by Metallica in 1984. This Venom album has good sound quality and it's a very good album.
I can't listen to venom without head-banging. Idk who else has that problem
Your discription is funny...more or less if we dont agree with you, you will delete us? Uuuum OK?
TELL US NOT TO TALK ABOUT RELIGION.
IF WE DONT LIKE VENOM, KEEP OUR MOUTH SHUT.
Well thank the gods Im a Venom lover or you delete me hahaha.
People are funny today.
So all of you haters shut up and just get used to it!! WHATEVER!!
Bought this album in the cut out bin at Hastings in the 80's. Quite the score.
Under The Spell is a Van Halen cover??
Wasnt it Blackened are the priests? I had the original vinyl,chantings a good song but different cover art too.This has to be a later redo.Right?
You're talking about a whole different album: Prime Evil.
best venom album
🤘⚡️⚡️⚡️🔥
This is a KILLER ALBUM, I love me some Venom🤘🤘🤘
Cronos is a douche
Very underrated.
As someone who fucks with drum machines, I’m hear to tell you that’s 100% a drum machine.
This album is really good. With all honesty, in my own experience, I haven't heard a bad release by Venom. Just some people can't accept a bit of a change or evolution in music. :D
nota 10...
No pues nota 10 es el álbum de Venom del año 91
Este disco es bastante más o menos nomas
Comentario siempre pobre e ilogico.Travesti.
This album is what it is. Smoke weed and listen. Drink IPAs too.
Everyone here saying this album is less thrash than previous albums. This album is their most thrashiest yet. The first 3 albums are super extreme/black metal outings and the possessed album is just weak production.
This album is high production thrash in the vein of Overkill and Kreator.
This album is just a little different from their previous albums, I don't understand the hate, it still sounds badass.
METAL PUNK
Moja pierwsza płyta CD! zresztą kupiona od kolegi z osiedla w czasach gdzie płyty kompaktowe były rarytasem.
Perfeito som do karalho !
This sounds like a million other metal bands/albums.. at least "possessed" sounded like..Venom
I have this in cassette n CD. Great band n killer album
Quitale los anuncios publicitarios pedaso de basura
Puede ser un disco respetable pero me gusta poco venom pues solo los discos del 82 y 91 solamente
Y a quien le importa tu repobre gusto musical COME MIERDA.
Calm Before the Storm
🤘🏻😎🤘🏻...The way black/death metal should be
I like it don't love it. It was released on k-tel records see how he can't say what he wants to say in the song muscle that he says In the lyrics!
All venom albums are great \m/
I have grown to love this album.
This album is so criminally underrated! How am I only hearing it now?
If it’s Venom, I’ll blast it! I am still thoroughly inspired by Venom’s entire body of work!
beauty and the beast is superb
My first fuckin' black metal lp.....
Turntable hell.....🤘
2018 ? 🎸
This is one of my favorite venom álbums \m/
I love this album and a fan of venom dude great job on the upload loud and full of good sound quality keep up the good work my dude.
Metal/Punk.!!
I am 55 years old and was a possessed Venom maniac in the early 80s. I was dedicated to Welcome To Hell and Black Metal with the Cronos, Mantas, Abbaddon line up. Seeing them in the States in 83' 84'. When those Mantas left I never gave this album a chance because I was dedicated to the original member.
But giving this album a chance now I'd say I was missing out on some killer metal. This is really good stuff. Think I'll add it to my collection.
Old Bridge Militia.
I'm dedicated forever to AT WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR WITH SATAAAAAAAAAAN!!!
I agree. It still not nearly as good or raw as the first 4 / classic lineup BUT... the production is finally turned around. Dont like some aspects but instrumentally it is nice to actually hear everything not muddy. You now can tell they can actually play in a time signature for more than a few seconds.
Now they got venom inc....
Is this the original album cover? I've seen others that look different than this so im not sure
I have the original lp...the cover is black and white. No red.
Di ego thanks. I've seen that before too so i wasn't sure
marin...you're welcome.
Their best album. Love that it has a more classic heavy metal sound, instead of their classic thrash/black metal mix
It just jumps in doesn't it? Awesome.
No great album this is I still have the cassette cover an all
se questo non è un grande album...Berlusconi è omosessuale.
Masterpiece
Id listen to this a million times before i listen to their new stuff tbh
Great Album!!!! I am really impressed!!!
As a teenager, this album came after a dismal Possessed release. I hated Possessed so much I pretty much gave up on Venom after that. At War with Satan was kind of that breaking album where, to me signified the end of Venom. Not that it was bad, but the B-Side only had 1 or maybe 2 songs that had anything to them. Possessed had nothing.
Now with that, '87, I had this album as I wanted to bet that Venom could come back (or was it a tape then? Can't recall). It just so happened I got it around Christmas and my world had started changing around for the better at this point. To me, this album redeemed Venom from the horrible Possessed one. It also led the way for Cronus's and Mantas's solo's and the end of Venom at this time. But they did change and this change was needed. This album was one of the last ones besides Prime Evil that really had that quality to it, in a different form...
I also hate Possessed. Bad album cover, bad lyrics and bad music. Fun fact though - they claim stuff for Possessed was written (lyrics and partial music) before At War With Satan album. Nevertheless I agree with you.
dude, this is exactly my opinion as well.
Possessed had Satanachist
Oh man, I love Possessed. Same with this. I’ll say though, Calm Before the Storm to me is the band Cronos’s first album.
This is fuckin' Venom & they couldn't come up with a better album cover!
METAL PUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNK
I've hated this album for so long, but after listening to it now, I fuckin' love it! I guess it's one of those albums you have to listen to many times to appreciate it.
One of the best Venom albums to date. great lyrics, finally good production. Clear guitar riffs....almost tolerable Abbadon drumming. Even his mistakes go from 4/4 to a jazz like timing... and almost sound intentional. "perfect Storm" for venom.
OMG , I BIG FAN of VENOM , but what about ALBUM "CALM BEFORE THE STORM 1987" - THIS IS BULLSHIT . I can`t see satanism !!! What about WELCOME TO HELL , Black metal , At war with satan and others - good . But what about CALM BEFORE THE STORM - I disapointed !!!
You should have stayed in school a bit longer mate. You're English is barely Readable
Poser...
Great guitar riffs on track 02
i passed it when i was young. now i come back to it. tnx (y)
oh shit ich have buy 40$ for this Album and now i can downloading this shit realy man That wasend 40 DOLLARS XD
Venom is heavy metal
Excelente álbum
I love this album, brings me a lot of memories from school and my friend let me borrow this on cassette, amazing, black Christmas is a great opener for this album, I wish this lineup would have done more.
Cool avatar. It's one hell of a good album.
check Cronos' solo band
My cover wasn't red like this one is was white and purple I think ..
And also, they made NO money on ir
Funny how venom heads dismissed this album, but yet no one can play the songs correct. The music is the tits. Everyone just hated on the production, and K-tel released it as a gimmick album. The K-mart label picked them up as a gimmick option. And it fucked up their reputation. You can't say this album has no talent.
Cmon, someone chime the fuck in!
I love the early stuff but this is just more interesting. Like a dirty and under rehearsed Iron Maiden.
oldmarmot That reminds me of Iron Maiden too, an evil Iron Maiden
FUCK ME, HOW GOOD IS THIS ALBUM!!
In fairness, I never gave it the credence it deserved. I always played the first 3/4 classic albums.
I put this on today and was just blown away.
Venom... metallic royalty!!
Black Metal, Thrash Metal ou Heavy Metal?Venom acima de tudo é Metal. e Cronos uma mistura perfeita de Gene Simons e Lemmy Kilminster. fudido demais.
I've got a CD called "Metal Punk" and it includes all these tracks.
Can somebody enlighten me on whats the difference with this album?
ES METAL PURO ESTO
Many thanks Matej for posting this great VENOM´s Calm Before the Storm!...This is my very first time to see and hear this excellent material!...GREAT CONTRIBUTION!...Rock/metal Greetings from Santiago, CHILE! PS: Please you continue uploading great rock and metal albums like this one that i will listen/see them attentively here in South America. In my opinion, "Black X-mas", "Calm Before the Storm" and "The Chanting of the Priests" are the best songs of the album.
The song 'fire' except for the vocals does have pretty black metalish in sound.
Fuck fuck fuck
no this is a great album I have this on cassette cover an all venom is one of the best thrash bands ever
very modern sound, a punch in the stomach hell of an album!!!
I love this band
Awesome albums. Lazy critics are morons.
is this is only album that sounds this good? its so cool
This is Venoms best album
I think it's great. Sonically it's fuckin superb but I can understand how HC fans wouldn't like it.
I remember you didn't you play the tuba on PBS ?
un des meilleurs, one of best
For me it's the best Venom album
Why to introduce yourself one more time?
+MODERATOR : Russel PROPHET nice pic queerbait
YEP, THATS THE FACE YOUR MOTHER SEES WHEN I'M ON TOP OF HER (5 TIMES/WEEK) HAAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAHAHA
+REAL PROPHET MOOHAMAD ,,she got herpes
Сергей Веселов cause it is
i am a Venom fan since i got to know them around 1985.I know they were concidered slightly over the hill around that time.Looking back their early albums were very influential on my personal music taste and approach to metal in general.This album was not in my scope back then.When i listen to it now, i feel as excited as when i first heard Black Metal or W.T.H......
they were in 20s back then
Venom the Black-Metal Hero,s..................Cronos come,s out from Hell yeah!
very underrated band and album
Released November 7, 1987. 28 years ago today!!!
+Ambush Bug Yes i can remember me,This Vinyl come,s out 1987 november and the cover was white.
almost 30
Past 30 years old now.
How did that happen... It was the other day I stole this album from the radio station in William Patterson in New Jersey/
Picked this up on vinyl the day it came out at 2nd Ave. Records in Pdx. Badass album.
remember combat records
Apesar de que no esta mantas creo que este album es uno de los mejores... realmente me encanta (Aunque mantas si hizo un buen trabajo en welcome to hell y black metal)
+Farid Al Hassan Y EL PRIMER ALBUM SOLISTA DE MANTAS TIENE UN LOOK PARECIDO AL DE BANDAS COMO WHITESNAKE,DOKKEN,RATT,STRYPER ETC PERO NO ME GUSTO EL AL BUM Y EL SEGUNDO ALBUM DE MANTAS ES DEMASIADO BRUTAL Y SIN BELLEZA MUSICAL PUES OPINO KE MANTAS EN EL SEGUNDO ALBUM LE PUDO HABER COPIADO AL WHITE PONY DE VENOM KE MEZCLA LA GUITARRA PESADA CON LA BELLEZA MUSICAL
Supremo!
Albúm muito foda
Yeah they had a slight change in sound as did quite a few bands in the mid/late 80's this was the first Venom album to have a good production, & it tells you can hear everything equally, its a less "mushy" sound & it's been one of my favorite Venom albums for nearly 30 years, you cant beat the good old classics but imagine if those early albums had the produced sound of the Calm album venom would have been a much bigger band than they were, as the early sound got them reviews that were not very good and that held them back as a "Joke" band for a few years, the music was of course quality, but the damage a few bad reviews here and there can do to a band can be phenomenal, i like all incarnations of venom, some more than others but they always deliver!
+Inequality Street I thought At War With Satan had the best production of the early albums.
One of the best venom albums👍
