Unleash the Venom Legacy: 40 Years of Extreme Metal Mayhem!

Originating from the dark heart of Newcastle upon Tyne in 1979, Venom has carved its name into the annals of extreme metal history. Emerging during the twilight of the new wave of British heavy metal, Venom's impact on the genre is nothing short of seismic. Their first two albums, "Welcome to Hell" (1981) and "Black Metal" (1982), stand as towering pillars, casting a long, sinister shadow over thrash metal and extreme music as a whole.

Pioneers of Darkness:
Venom's sophomore opus, "Black Metal," was so influential that it not only left an indelible mark on music but also lent its name to an entire subgenre of extreme metal. This is the band that brought black metal into existence as we know it today.

The Unholy Trinity:
At the helm of Venom's classic lineup, you'll find the unholy trinity: Cronos, Mantas, and Abaddon. Together, they conjured two more studio albums, "At War With Satan" (1984) and "Possessed" (1985), along with the electrifying live album "Eine Kleine Nachtmusik" (1986). These records pulsate with a malevolent energy that continues to captivate.

Influence Beyond Imagination:
Venom's influence is a venomous contagion, spreading through the likes of Metallica, Behemoth, Celtic Frost, and Mayhem, among many others. They are the revered architects of an entire generation's metal soundtrack.

40 Years of Unrelenting Darkness:
Venom remains an unstoppable force, with the original singer/bassist Cronos still at the helm. They headline festivals across the globe, and their musical venom flows unabated. "In Nomine Satanas" is a diabolical celebration of Venom's formative years, offering an unholy collection of forty-three of the band's most malevolent songs. This anthology has been meticulously remastered, ensuring that each note is as venomous as the first time it was unleashed. But that's not all—two previously unreleased tracks have been unearthed, adding an extra layer of darkness to commemorate 40 years of pure hellish metal.

Don't miss this opportunity to own a piece of the infernal legacy. Welcome to the world of Venom, where darkness reigns eternal, and the music is as wicked as ever.
