Venom is a British heavy metal band that emerged in the late 1970s and is considered one of the pioneers of the black metal genre. The band consists of original members Conrad "Cronos" Lant on vocals and bass, Jeffrey "Mantas" Dunn on guitar, and Anthony "Abaddon" Bray on drums.
Venom's music is characterized by fast, aggressive guitar riffs, pounding drums, and harsh, guttural vocals. Their lyrics often explore themes of Satanism, occultism, and anti-Christian sentiment, which has earned them a reputation for being controversial and provocative.
The band's debut album, "Welcome to Hell," was released in 1981 and helped define the black metal sound with its raw, intense energy and bleak, anti-establishment lyrics. The album was met with mixed reviews at the time, with some critics praising its unapologetic aggression and others condemning its nihilism and controversial themes.
Despite the backlash, Venom's influence on the metal scene continued to grow, and they released several more albums throughout the 1980s, including "Black Metal" and "At War with Satan." These albums further cemented Venom's place in metal history, with their dark, menacing sound and provocative lyrics pushing the boundaries of what was acceptable in popular music at the time.
In addition to their music, Venom's image also played a significant role in their success. The band members often wore black leather and spiked wristbands, and their album covers featured disturbing and graphic images, such as a goat's head on a spike and a nun being whipped. These visuals helped to create an aura of danger and rebellion around the band, which appealed to their fans and helped to solidify their place in the metal pantheon.
Despite their success, Venom faced numerous setbacks throughout their career. The band members' drug and alcohol abuse led to several lineup changes and periods of inactivity, and they were often criticized for their controversial lyrics and imagery. However, despite these challenges, Venom continued to push the boundaries of metal and inspire new generations of musicians.
Today, Venom's legacy continues to live on in the world of metal. Their influence can be heard in the music of countless bands across various sub-genres, and their uncompromising attitude and dedication to their vision have inspired countless fans and artists alike.

"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.
