VENOM AT WAR WITH SATAN Gatefold NEAT BERNETT 12" VINYL LP ALBUM
"At War with Satan" is the third album by heavy metal band Venom. With this album, they went back to the more raw, unpolished sound of Welcome to Hell after the more refined albeit darker and heavier sound of Black Metal. This is especially emphasized with the raspy vocals. Shortly after its release, the HMV and WH Smith record chains withdrew the album from their shelves due to its "controversial content", an odd reaction considering that At War With Satan is generally not considered more controversial than any of the earlier Venom albums. Arguably, it was a reaction to the increased publicity the group had received.
