Venom The Singles 80-86




Now this is a classic if i ever seen or heard one. Formed in 1979 in Newcastle after meeting at a Judas Priest show Venom are the band that connected Heavy Metal with all the sub genres we know and love today. In fact I believe that without such seminal works as Welcome to Hell (1981) or Black Metal (1982) even bands like Metallica would have a much harder time to affirm themselves in the international scene as they did after Kill 'em All (1983)



In this "best of" Cronos, Mantas and Abadon left all the other contemporary bands miles behind with a collection of previous works ideal for the first time listener.



Larger than life immediate hits like "In League With Satan", "Bloodlust","Die Hard", "Bursting Out" and my favourite "Lady Lust" are all you need to make a party of depressed gothics, near suicidal emos (if you are unlucky enough to know them) and old school heavy metal kids with the odd punk in their mist to raise into a frenetic and spastic satanical adoration right in your living room. End the session with "Manitou"
and not even your American Native friends will feel left out.
