Suckin' Out Venom - Weapons Grade Rock & Blues. "The first time I saw 'Blue on Black' I thought 'damn these guys are good'. I wasn't alone - the audience loved them. Second time I watched them do a fine job opening for Deep Purple in Plymouth U.K. Now they have produced 'Suckin out Venom' and I am very happy to recommend it. Cheers, ig (Ian Gillan).
