THE REVIEW
INTRO: Who among us wouldn't want to poison the slender and petite body of Cliffburton86? YOAAAA
After months of absence, I return with great pleasure to write, and I see that you, MY disciples, have multiplied... let's continue to pave the way together for absolute violence and wickedness, Yoaaaaaa.
High school music played by evil geniuses. With this album, Venom coined the term Black Metal, displaying burning and harsh infernal, satanic, evil, wicked visions... you will all be terrified and frightened.
Venom were the pioneers of a new genre that inspired trends like thrash, death, and black metal, indeed.
Cruel, wicked, and ruthless masterpiece in every sense; violent, transgressive, and fast like never before.
The lyrics are clear: Satan, the King of evil, the lord of us all... only him and my "angelic" woman, the "Countess Bathory" (the Hungarian lady who bathed in the blood of newly slaughtered virgins to preserve herself). This song has a riff that makes me want to take Cliffburton's head and stamp his shroud on a concrete wall! YOAAAAAA
"Buried Alive" (which I explicitly dedicate to all the false rock stars, YOAAAA) and "Raise the Dead" remain evocative and full of pain: raw, evil songs; endless torture.
Sinister, unhealthy, and evil atmospheres.
The first masterpiece of Music. A must even for your deceased grandmothers; they will be reborn, you'll see.
Another album that no one can miss. Even the Dwarves must have it.
Buy this and their entire discography.
Your hellish pain will be absolved because hell is locked in here...

Two of the most devastating pieces in the history of all metal, unmatched.
An excellent album which had the honor of offering the name to an entire scene.
By Harlan
Venom is not a band about harmony between instruments, to be clear.
As soon as it was released, 'Black Metal' witnessed a change in the world of music.
