Venom are an English extreme metal band formed in 1979 in Newcastle upon
Tyne. Coming to prominence towards the end of the new wave of British
heavy metal, Venom's first two albums -Welcome to Hell (1981) and Black
Metal (1982)- are considered a major influence on thrash metal and
extreme metal in general. Venom's second album proved influential enough
that its title was used as the name of the extreme metal subgenre of
black metal. The band classic line-up trio of Cronos, Mantas and Abaddon
recorded two further studio albums At War With Satan (1984) and
Possessed (1985) and live album Eine Kleine Nachtmusik (1986). Often
cited by bands such as Metallica, Behemoth, Celtic Frost and Mayhem as
major influences, they are one of the most revered bands of their
generation.
Venom are still fronted by original singer/bassist Cronos
and headline festivals all over the globe and continue to release new
music. Sons Of Satan is collection of the bands early demo material from
the period 1979 to 1983.
