There is more than one artist with this name: 1) Venom, formed in 1979, basically kickstarted the extreme metal movement, although in retrospect their raw Satanic speed metal sound was not too dissimilar from a few of their NWOBHM comrades. At their prime Venomseemed the heaviest and most menacing band out there, and were a big influence to virtually all early extreme metal bands. Their seminal album Black Metallent its name to the up and coming subgenre of the same name. Indeed Black Metal is frequently regarded as the main creative force within the metal scene, (although it is not black metal as we persee it nowadays) with other related subgenres seeing relative stasis since the late 1990s and early 2000s. During the mid 80's, Black Metal bands such as Bathory, Sodomand Hellhammertook Venom's sonic intensity and occult imagery towards new heights, helping further establish the subgenre the way it is known today.

My brain fed with ecstacy
Fills my need
As i feel my body burst with great speed
And i clench a needle in a blood drained fist
Then i turn and mark another trip off my list
A)Feel that rush,with that gold
satanic dust
feel that pain,the drug induce through
my veins
I will in life as i will in death
Sow the seeds with every breath
Never will i run,never will i hide
Only to express myself and feel it deep
inside
Acid
Now i dream in comatose neuotic state
As my paranoia grows i must wait
Til the feeling of the drug starts to die
Then i'll hit the drug again,take me high
b) Feel that buzz,for all the goddam
good it does
Feel the flight,that flies me in through
day and night
Now inside my arteries there's no blood
