THE ONLY OFFICIAL WEBSITE OF VENOM - THE ORIGINAL INVENTORS AND FOUNDERS OF BLACK METAL.
Years active: 1979-1992, 1995-2002, 2005-present. Top picture from left to right: Abaddon, Cronos, Mantas. Bottom picture from left to right: Rage, Cronos, Danté. Often considered as the first black metal band. Venom are hailed as godfathers of extreme metal.
- Black Metal (1982) A monument to evil intent and balls-out heavy metal, Black Metal is simply one of the most important albums in metal history. Truly subversive and proudly individual, Venom had already pushed heavy music into uncharted territory with Welcome To Hell.
- Welcome To Hell (1981) Venom effectively invented the metal underground single-handedly. Welcome To Hell was harder, faster, darker and more blatantly blasphemous than anything that had gone before: Black Sabbath’s occult dabblings, reborn as a mad-eyed mission statement.
- At War With Satan (1984) Venom made their reputation by being bigger, louder, uglier and more unpleasant than everyone else. On their third album, they channelled all of that dark power into their most overblown and audacious statement.
- Resurrection (2000) The original three-man Venom only managed one album together after reuniting in the mid ‘90s. Drummer Abaddon fled the nest shortly after Cast In Stone emerged in 1997, but Mantas and Cronos were not prepared to squander their momentum.
