The British band Venom are the undisputed pioneers of extreme music and the godfathers of the black metal genre. Emerging from Newcastle in the late seventies during the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, they took the foundation of rock and roll and pushed it to unprecedented levels of speed and darkness. With the release of their legendary albums Welcome to Hell and Black Metal, the band did more than just define a new aesthetic—they gave a name to an entire musical movement. Their sound is a raw and chaotic blend of punk energy and classic metal, driven by thunderous bass and the iconic vocals of Cronos. Venom became the primary inspiration for the rise of legends like Metallica, Slayer, and Mayhem, remaining a fundamental cornerstone for every serious collector.
