Second pressing on Combat Records from 1991 in excellent condition. In 1982, Venom released their second and most important album ever, Black Metal. This album was highly influential towards thrash metal, death metal, and the genre that it coined the term for, black metal. Musically, Black Metal is neither of these genres as the album is primarily classified as NWOBHM and speed metal. Just like its predecessor Welcome to Hell, it also had a low-budget raw production that many black metal bands took influence from. Another essential Venom album for any Metal Purist!
