I've always wondered how these lads could tour with such a large production/stage show since in terms of sales and genre, they were not a million seller band. Pretty primative and brutal for a metal outfit from that period. Nice...
Cheesy as hell, but very good as well. They can't play to save their lives, but who cares? If wasnt for them the whole speed/trash/death metal wouldn't be the same. Or wouldn't even exist
the original release of this video had an interview which i've always remembered for some reason-
CRONOS"i'm not a particularly good bass player. mantas isn't a particularly good guitarist and abbadon a particularly good drummer, but when you stick us together we're like a fucking brick being thrown at you."
And Venom is credited for coining the term "black metal" the genre got it's name due to Venom's stage presence and attire not because of the music style.
first off Girlie 347 venom was truly the first of their kind, what you call popular didn,t matter and never has in the metal genre, what they created was a whole new sound which rings through today with such popular acts as cradle of filth so fuck offf!!!
Anybody who denies Venom as a black metal band doesn't deserve the right to listen to music, period. I'd hardly call most of that Euro-wanking forest metal "black metal".
Not too many people are hardcore Venom fans anymore.But I am 1 of them.I grew up listening to venom since the early 80"s. They ARE black metal gods and always will be!!!!!!!!
Venom never made it big. They started metal, playing fast because they couldn't play well, but what they really wanted to be was a 70's rockband, with a tour bus, huge stage, loads of lights and smoke, platforms. But they didn't have the songs to become really popular, just some boring bangers like this one. Look at all the other Venom video's, they're all about the huge stage with the lightshow, but as a threesome they could never really fill it, just two guys walking around, like metal clowns
sometimes its good to make up your own mind instead of just believing shit that you read. if you open your fucking ears theres some great hooks and songwriting ideas in this song but its so unconventional even by todays standards that it was never accepted by the mainstream
I'm actually friends with the daughter of Venom's guitarist Im not kidding! Go on Wikipedia and look up Venom, the guitarist is James Clare, he was only in for a year though
That song fucking kicked my ass, hit me in the face with a hammer and all around opened up a can of whoop ass on me with it's level of kick-assery! VENOM ROCKS!
WHOOAA! Wait a second! In an Interveiw I've seen the band even says that they laugh at the catorgorization!!!!! The band is loved by many types of metalheads and even punks!! Black Flag opened for them once!! And they treat their fans like family!!!
THIS is Black Metal! They created the style, them THEY are the original ones. Black Metal is THIS, not shitty things like Gorgoroth, Dark Funeral and many others.
What??? I really don't know why people insist on categorizing everything. Seriously man, other than aesthetic, i don't think they are anything near what one would consider to be black metal sound. I would consider them "Heavy Metal", possibly thrash metal.
Great time the eighties!!

Interesting that one still hears criticism of Venom's musicianship. Black Sabbath were criticized as crude for their day also.

Black metal is in my oppinion a wide genre consisting of both bands like Venom, CF AND bands like Dark funeral, Marduk and others.
