VENOM

Venom are an English heavy metal band formed in 1979 in Newcastle upon Tyne.[1] Coming to prominence towards the end of the new wave of British heavy metal, Venom's first two albums—Welcome to Hell (1981) and Black Metal (1982)—are considered a major influence on thrash metal and extreme metal in general.[1] Venom's second album proved influential enough that its title was used as the name of an extreme metal subgenre: black metal.

Venom - Black Metal CD Digi

VENOM - BLACK METAL "Black Metal" is the second album by English heavy metal pioneers Venom. Released hot upon the heels of their first assault came Venom's nearly as crucial second album, 1982's Black Metal, whose title alone still lends itself to the most uncompromising strain of heavy metal in existence today. The band wasn't popular or successful at the time the album was released, but they showed a legion of metal heads they could gather some friends, get wasted, and crank out an album's worth of extreme darkness.
