The true story of Venom, the most influential NWOBHM band of them all / Classic Rock "So who were the most important band to emerge from the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal? Iron Maiden? Def Leppard? Nope. It was Venom, Geordie Devil-worshippers who invented a brand-new genre
As 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!” Alternatively, as Jon Bon Jovi would have it: “This is the sort of shit that gives heavy metal a bad name.”"
