VENOM

VENOM is a British heavy metal, NWOBHM, and proto-black metal band from Newcastle upon Tyne, formed in 1979. Widely regarded as one of the most influential bands in the history of heavy metal, their first three albums — "Welcome to Hell", "Black Metal", and "At War with Satan" — essentially gave birth to the black metal and thrash metal genres. Their raw, satanic, and chaotic approach shocked the metal world and inspired countless extreme metal bands worldwide.
