Venom- Welcome To Hell

Label: BMG

Reissued 3/28/2025, Originally released 1981

"Welcome to Hell" Coming to prominence towards the end of the new wave of British heavy metal, both Welcome to Hell and Black Magic were major influences on the whole genres of thrash and extreme metal. Often considered the first black metal band, the band even gave a certain band named Metallica their first break in Europe nearly 30 years ago. Indeed, Lars Ulrich once said "[The first Venom album] 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!"
