R.I.P Cronos

[Hundenilunden82]

Conrad ”Cronos” Lant, frontman i Venom, har avlidit.

En av black metals urfäder, Conrad ”Cronos” Lant, har lämnat oss alldeles för tidigt, endast 63 år gammal.

"I've always been interested in Satanism, but we're entertainers, and we used subjects like Satanism and paganism to entertain people, like horror movies do. Listening to a Venom album is the same thing as watching an Evil Dead movie. I don't go around murdering virgins in my spare time. It's frustrating when people can't make that distinction; I mean, David Bowie's not actually from Mars, is he? But we were always being misquoted in the press. Venom admit to dancing around a campfire with virgins? Nonsense."

En verklig gigant som lämnat oss. Heavy Metal (i bred mening, om man glömmer bort alla indelningar subgenres för en stund) hade verkligen inte varit detsamma utan honom. Venom's inflytande på alltifrån Thrash, Death och Black Metal osv var enormt.
