Venom - The Chanting Of The Priests - Calm Before The Storm 1987

LYRICS :

Watch out -
There's a cry from Atlantis
Takes the wind by surprise
Voices so demanding
Thunder swarms the skies
To the north of horizon
Over mountains at east
There's a call to the lost ones
From the elders deceased

We're chanting - They're chanting

It's in a tear - Outside a prayer
Without form it's haunting the air
It's in a kiss - within a bite
It brings the darkness into light

The chanting of the priests
The chanting of the priests

Watch out -
It's a song for Olympus
Cracks the morpheus dream
It oozes the ozone
Heavenly screaems
By the golden waterfall
Through the fog on the ice
There's a voice in the shell call
It's demanding precise

We're chanting - They're chanting
The chanting of the priests

Yells ascend into the sleeping
Screech the hawk relpies
Shudders pound the marching hearts
In reborn synchronize
Held in force the feeding prism
Triangle diaboli
Catalogues the souls inside
The city in the sea

Watch Out -
Where there's life without presence
There's a voice without sound
Deep inside you can't feel it
Yet it's all around
Through the eye of the pharoah
To the tombs in the sand
There's a force in the distance
Calls you to the sacred land

The chanting of the priests

at the time Black Metal meant Satanic Heavy Metal. So Venom WERE Black Metal at the time. Bathory took what Venom did and made it a distinct sound/genre. Sodom and Hellhammer were before Bathory and their first releases were also Black Metal. Venom was a Black Metal band.

Darude-Calm Before the Storm

[pervypriest666]

partially correct and wrong they coined the term but the meaning of black metal was sothing bathory molded. sort of venom wrote the recepie bathory baked the cake deal

[LORDGOAT1976]

Who cares who invented it.

[SinisterManiac]

This one of the few songs Mantas composed that appeared on this album! But here Mykvs is on guitar.

Indeed my friend, before Venom all we had were Judas Priest and Motorhead. Then suddenly we have the most raw fucking metal sound imaginable chanting about Satan and death and dressing like medieval rogue/knights. Badass. They even coined the term Black Metal - and the extreme metal genre evolved from there.

[Dusarrion]

Ok, I'm going to hold back on insulting you simply because you haven't taken the time to investigate what you're saying, so here it is: Venom, formed in 1979, released demo in 1980. Bathory, formed in 1983, released demo in 1984. Bathory's first couple albums sounded JUST LIKE Venom. Bathory even went so far as to dress in the same weird medieval outfits that Venom had ALREADY POSED IN. I love Bathory bud, but you're FUCKING WRONG.
