3/5 ·
Warthur
The Waste Lands is the final album by the Tony Dolan-fronted incarnation of Venom, and provides more or less exactly what they'd led us to expect by this point - thrashy metal that's fun to sing along to but is otherwise rather forgettable. The best song on the album is probably the Conan the Barbarian-inspired Riddle of Steel, but even that is just a feel-good singalong piece rather than something which will stay with you once the album's over. By this point of their career, Venom had become the very definition of "good, but non-essential", so three stars it is - though were it not for Riddle of Steel, it'd be down to two and a half.
