Venom - Welcome To Hell

Jesus people, this blog has been up for a day and a half and already I'm being bombarded with requests. Most of them go the same way: "Hey Eugene, where's the metal?" Or "Dude, this blog is good an all but it needs some metal". Well I'm a man of the people so I'm giving you what you want, I'll probably put some Slayer and Burzum up at some point so just cool out. Although all feedback is appreciated and I'm thankful to everyone who gave this blog a try.

Ok kids, it's time for a history lesson. Venom managed to completely lay the blueprint for black and death metal as early as the 70s. Three Jordies with a new idea, a love of Sabbath and some hilarious theatrics, what metal is all about really. Their debut "Black Metal" was the album acclaimed to be the farther of much modern metal but with the follow up "Welcome To Hell" they managed to better their past efforts considerably. They were widely panned by Christian organizations who had clearly yet to understand what tongue in cheek meant. It is strongly doubtable that the members of Venom could give less of a shit about Satan which is ironic as the black metal scene in the 90s was heavily structured around a real belief in Satan, one they got from Venom amongst other things.
