Welcome to Hell

by Venom

Welcome to Hell cover art

Venom's unbelievably abrasive debut single-handedly forced heavy metal into significantly darker, faster, and more terrifying extremes. Marred by muddy, lo-fi production, 'Welcome to Hell' relies entirely on blistering speed, sloppy aggression, and unabashed, theatrical Satanism, making it the undeniable, highly influential genesis of extreme metal.
