What legends say about the impact
Welcome To Hell was a classic! Black metal, speed metal, death metal, whatever you want to call it, Venom started it all with that one record!
Venom brought this satanic edge that really stood out. They didn't just play metal; they made you feel it in a different way.
Every aspect of that band was so exaggerated to the point where you couldn't focus on anything; it was all just so loud and crazy.
The first two Venom albums changed my life. They showed me that there was no limit to extremity in heavy metal.
Venom was one of those bands that had a huge impact on us. Their music was raw and aggressive.
Venom was one of my favourite bands early in my career, alongside the Big Four.
