Black is the night, metal we fight
Power amps set to explode
Energy screams, magic and dreams
Satan records the first note
We chime the hell, chaos and hell
Metal for maniacs pure
Fast melting steel, fortune on wheels
For Black Metal
Lay down your soul to the gods rock n' roll

Freaking so wild, nobody's mild
Giving it all that you've got
Wild is so right, metal tonight
Faster than over the top
Open the door, enter hell's core
Black is the code for tonight
Atomic force, feel no remorse
Trunk up the amps now it's night
Black Metal
Lay down your soul to the gods rock n' roll
Metal ten fold through the deadly black hole

Sing with the song of Venom, Black Metal lyrics!

Riding hell's stallions bareback and free
Faking our chances with raw energy

Come ride the night with us
Rock hard and fight
United my legions we stand
Freak hard and wild for us
Give up your souls
Live for the guest satan's band

Against the odds, black metal gods
Fight to achieve our goal
Tasting a spell, leather and hell
Black metal gods rock n' roll
Building up steam, nuclear screams
Warheads are ready to fight
Black leather hounds, faster than sound
Metal our purpose in life
Black Metal
Lay down your soul to the gods rock n' roll
Black Metal

Artist Information

Profile:

One of the most important bands to ever spawn from the Metal undeground, Venom helped the creation of extreme metal. Formed in Newcastle, England in the '70s as Oberon, the band became a reality thanks to singer/bassist Conrad Lant, guitarist Jeff Dunn, and drummer Tony Bray. Soon renamed to Venom, the members decided to opt for Satanic imagery and appear in interviews, magazines and booklets as Cronos, Mantas and Abaddon respectively. Originally a mixture of Motörhead, Black Sabbath and Kiss, the band's fresh Satanic Hardcore/Metal debut, "Welcome to Hell" (1981) was though by many as the first real 100% Thrash album. Its successor, 1982's "Black Metal", while not as successful as Metallica's "Kill 'Em All" allowed the band to gain more fame, along with naming a whole generation of new bands. "At War With Satan", the band's finest hour, quickly followed as a response to the group's unexpected success with 1985's "Possessed", which unfortunately was the last album (of this early era) to feature Mantas. More line-up changes happened, as Cronos soon left to follow a career as a solo artist and Abaddon was forced to re-recruit Mantas (largely missed by the fans) along with fellow British Atomkraft's Tony Dolan (who used the moniker 'The Demolition Risk' in Venom) and Al Banes. More albums followed by they were largely ignored as Metallica, Anthrax and Megadeth's approach to Thrash received greater appreciation and as bands like Mayhem started appearing. In 1996 the band reformed as the original line-up with Cronos back in the fold. A self-titled EP was released, followed by other semi-successful albums and the re-release of all of the bands' older classics.
