Welcome to Hell

Venom

1981
Neat Records

If Motorhead were the band that killed your lawn, Venom burned down the rest of the neighborhood. Conrad “Cronos” Lant, Jeffrey “Mantas” Dunn, and Anthony “Abaddon” Bray looked at the competition, realized the only way they could stand out was to play worse, sound worse, and have dumber lyrics than everyone else – and hell if it didn’t work. “Witching Hour” and “In League with Satan” established their chaotic credentials. The title track kicked down the gates of Dis.
