Welcome To Hell (40th Anniversary Reissue)

Welcome to Hell brought to fruition the young Venom's early years of filth and thrashing. Scores of groups capitalised on Venom's trailblazing, but the beginning of the whole shebang is within: tracks like Live Like an Angel... One Thousand Days in Sodom and Angel Dust capture a band bursting with uncontrollable vitriol. And of course In League With Satan is one of the most important metal tunes ever carved in blood. Anyone who thinks metal can't be punk should check this out.
