Background information about ''

The album that literally coined the term "black metal" and changed the course of extreme music forever! Venom's sophomore masterpiece "Black Metal" from 1982 stands as one of the most influential and groundbreaking records in heavy metal history. This isn't just an album – it's the birth certificate of an entire genre that would spawn thousands of bands and reshape the underground forever.

From the moment "Black Metal" explodes into action, Venom delivers pure sonic warfare that was years ahead of its time. The unholy trinity of Cronos, Mantas, and Abaddon created something genuinely terrifying and revolutionary. Tracks like "To Hell And Back", "Countess Bathory", and "Buried Alive" showcase the band's ability to blend NWOBHM energy with proto-extreme metal brutality. The production might be raw, but that's exactly what gives these songs their devastating power. This remastered edition preserves all that primal energy while adding essential bonus material including rare Radio 1 sessions and extended 12" versions that complete the Venom experience.

For fans of:
Bathory, Celtic Frost, Mercyful Fate, Sodom, Destruction, Kreator, Hellhammer
