| Sure, an album that influenced Celtic Frost and Bathory really needs praising. But I think it should end there. Early Venom isn't actually worth hearing IMO. |

I don't really like it either, but you know, it's history. So I thank them, and that's it.  |

| It's an ok album, definetly not Venoms best in term of musical quality, but the influence this album had on Thrash, Black and other types of metal is incredible! |

This album slays!!!  I love the whole Speed / Heavy Metal / Rock N' Roll crossover [Motorhead also falls in that category], it always gets me in the mood for chugging down straight Jack Daniels  ! I think it's Venom's best album, surely it's an aquired taste, but I love it and though i kind ov strongly dislike the themes [cuz i don't believe in a devil and i find bands that stuff to be very immature] , i can dig it (so you know they're doing something right!) "Welcome To Hell" and "In League With Satan" are the standout tracks for me! Venom's first few albums kick my balls! HAIL!!

This album is GODLY. It epitomises everything that is evil, dirty and dangerous (ie. the good bits) about rock and roll. If only bands today could reach such heights of wildness.
I disagree about the "terrible" production, though. To my ears it is perfect. |

Historical album, huge influence... i have great respect for this work (every metal fan should have), but its not even close to be into my favorites... it is still very thrash, musically speaking (i dont care about the lyrics themes).
Best songs are ''One Thousand Days In Sodom'', with great guitar solo, and ''Welcome to Hell'' with that amazing and historical riff: TANANAN NANAN NANAN NANAAAM!!!  |

what i've found by listening to their first 2 albums is that the only way to listen to Venom is to not take them seriously. "metal tenfold through the deadly black hole, riding hell stallions, bareback and free" who the hell can take that any seriously? they're a band that doesn't have any deep intellectual philosophy to their sound, they're like a much faster satanic version of Ac/Dc. |

it's funny how this ridiculous band with awful musicians made so much history xD |

| The other day I was listening to a band called "Raven" and on their first album, Rock Until You Drop, the song, "For the Future", is suspiciously similar to the song "Welcome to Hell" on this album. I just found that funny, especially because Raven released their album first.But I still really like this album, so much that I bought it on Vinyl! The poor production, shotty musicianship and crude lyrical themes somehow mix together to create a masterpiece. "Witching Hour"is definitely my favorite song! |

| To me this is the beginning of heavy metal, not Back Sabbath, or Motorhead. Nothing was heavier than this album at the time, and it greatly influenced almost every form of metal. |

You know how so many people say that Black Sabbath are the godfathers of metal? Well they really arn't. Venom is. |

They weren't as heavy as Venom in '81, they were more on the lines of hard rock. But they did get heavier over time, especially when Maiden got Bruce Dickenson. |

Trollfest, clearly.
Either that or mr. metalheadpunk is totally clueless and not a metalheadpunk at all. |

Just because they were not as heavy as venom doesnt make them hard rock. |

Exactly. By that token, you could say that Slayer are hard rock because they aren't as heavy as Napalm Death.
I really hope that "Venom started metal/Maiden, Priest, Sabbath are hard rock" is just trolling, because if not, that is one of the most ridiculous statements about metal music I've ever heard in my life. |

Napalm Death are hard rock because Justin Bieber is heavier. |

But of course, that's why I don't listen to Justin Beiber... that level of extremity is just too much for me.  |
