Venom have announced the release of their new single “Kicked Outta Hell”, taken from their upcoming album “Into Oblivion”, scheduled for release on May 1, 2026 via Noise/BMG.
The track represents the second single from the album and continues the band’s current recording cycle, marking their first new material since “Storm The Gates” (2018).
According to the band, “Kicked Outta Hell” presents a direct and aggressive approach, while lyrically introducing a perspective that places the narrator above the traditional figure of the Devil.
The track reflects both elements associated with Venom’s earlier sound and aspects of their more recent direction.
“Into Oblivion” is described as the band’s sixteenth studio album and features the lineup of:
Cronos — bass, vocals
Rage — guitar
Dante — drums
The album consists of thirteen tracks and combines characteristics associated with the band’s 1980s material alongside a more contemporary approach.
To mark the release, Venom will host a series of album listening events on April 30, one day before the official release.
The confirmed locations are:
Helgi’s Bar — London, UK
Headbangers Pub — Milan, Italy
Dr Feelgood: Rock Beer Temple — Paris, France
Duff’s — Brooklyn, New York, USA
The Metal Bar — São Paulo, Brazil
Ballroom Kaperfahrt — Hamburg, Germany
These events will include promotional items and additional activities connected to the album launch.
