Resurrection is Venom's tenth studio album, released on 25 April 2000 through Steamhammer. It arrived three years after Cast in Stone and sits between that record and 2003's Under a Spell, in the band's long run that began with Welcome to Hell in 1981 and Black Metal in 1982.

The record carries some weight in the Venom story as the last to feature original guitarist Mantas. Its sound draws on black metal, speed metal, groove metal and thrash metal, so it is a good one to hear if you want to know how the band's rough-edged template sounded at the turn of the millennium. The US release followed on 23 May 2000.
