Venom - Witching Hour 1982 rerecorded version (ultra rare) 

I totally agree!

Actually, I feel like Motorhead pioneered this one for them.

​@@A1AuthorityAntes do Venom, não existia trash, black é nem vocais extremos como gutural

@@A1AuthorityMotörhead almost had a blues/classic rock feeling to them, their riffs not quite as “evil” as Venom, I think Venom opened the door to Black metal. Slayer added the true “speed metal” aspect to metal, and Mercyful Fate added the melodic/complex aspect. Hank Sherman and Michael Denner, in my opinion, 2 of the best metal guitarists out there. Metallica, to me, we’re the original “mainstream” metal band.

Discharge Fight Back ep 1981, punk, but is the origin of a lot of this sound

I have to tell you, I'm not even a Venom fan. I draw the line at Metal for the sake of Metal. I hate Black or Death Metal for example. I dig music that comes off as powerful but negativity and ignorance for feigning as cool is total shit. There are too many bands that just settled because they had nothing to say personally, or could not find a real singer. Fist bump. @@queensapphire7717

Yea dude is a really good and hard hitting drummer

That was the point, in my opinion. It sounds like it's going to disintegrate any second.

I'm your neighbor and I'd appreciate it if you'd turn it up. Oh and play some bathory next thanks 😅

@@yellowveedub Venom ' Warhead' was my introduction at 13. I'm 51 now . Inspirational. Religious ( or not 🚫 ):)

People started protesting.

Yeah they were not ready for this in 1982. This was true black metal - I didn’t even get to listen to venom until 1991

​​@@brianmeen2158exactly the same year I heard them...after years of searching and trying to order their stuff all the way down here in Australia...I had black metal on order at a local record store for 6 months and finally it came in....I don't know how many times I've played it... thousands I'd say

Venom laid the foundation for thrash metal and death metal and black metal.....

Sacrifice too

los carranguero de raquira.... too@@TheGrinchStoleMyBong

Don't miss Bathory and Celtic Frost

Just the finest, brutal HM bands in the f,,,n world.

Same here bro!

Of thrash metal.😊

@andreaclemente3722 thanks for replying

This is another version. This is different from the first Album version.

Yeah, I like to imagine a V-twin engine's pistons moving with the same rhythm as the bass drums. The guitars and the bass make up the engine noise.

you're right on that GBH vibe! never thought og it like that. and i'm a fan of both Venom and GBH

Eles não criaram estilo nenhum.

​@@nerdmetaltrue

​@@nerdmetalainda faltou metallica, Megadeth, sepultura é possesed kkkkk

Kkkkkkkkkkk quanto verme nutella comentando bosta se perguntar a historia do venom aposto meu album celtic frost emperor's return mosca branca que esses nutellas não tem nem conhecimento

Excuse me, what is that release? I only know the British Steel comp. LP.

I know that you know that you know I know Motorhead is slang for speed freak in England and Lemmy did speed right!? 😶

nah

Countess bathory 👊

😂😂😂😂

Other than coining the term, there's nothing black metal about them. This is pure thrash with a filthy sound

@@Annihilation_0f_The_Wicked9066 It wasn't for snotty little girls looking for something to snivel about back then and I'm not going to debate one now about their importance to all that came after them. I will say this, don't listen then. If you want to start shit with someone, put your phone down and go out and DO it like we did back then rather than be a crybaby online. Cheers

@@Annihilation_0f_The_Wicked9066Tremelo picking is a very big part of black metal. Also that chorus progression is totally black metal like. And obviously the end. So atmospheric .

@@outis439-A Black Metal is more than just tremolo picking. Venom have elements that have crystalized thrash, death, black metal, but they as a band are not black metal and never were. By your logic Slayer can also be passed as black metal band. Black Metal was created, defined and perfected by Bathory.

@@Annihilation_0f_The_Wicked9066 so I agree- venom were everything really. Like thrash, speed, sludge (huh? Yeah Warhead), black metal. But how is Bathory black metal if venom isn’t? I mean Bathory is not black metal either. It’s first wave black metal or thrash (I mean technically they are black metal because sub genres of black metal like black n roll and blackened thrash are basically what they did) but other than that, Bathory isn’t really black metal either. They have black metal elements like the necro production. But that still stands- the chorus riff progression is totally something Thorns would write and obviously the end are totally black metal elements. Probably why Mayhem covered this song. Kinda. Bathory was more of an influence on those Norwegian Bands but isn’t black metal really. I mean perfected? They’re aren’t even any black beats- and they’re is still those thrash riffs Venom has here. It’s like take War by Burzum- the riff is very thrashy but with that black metal aesthetic. But still black metal riffs here no? Kinda the start of black metal
