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.

Calm Before The Storm Lyrics

Venom

I can smell the fear
Hear the screams of pain
I must kill or be meat
I'll say to you
On this planet of dirt
Number one comes first
This is our place
The last of the human race
Children of disgrace
Now can you all hear me say
There's a calm before the storm
Don't say that you ain't been warned
A calm before the storm
And it's coming for you
Is there life after death
Do you ask yourself
This is our place
The last of the human race
Children of disgrace
Now can you all hear me say
There's a calm before the storm
Don't say that you ain't been warned
A calm before the storm
And it's coming for you
I have smelled the fear
Heard the screams of pain
This is our place
The last of the human race
Children of disgrace
Now can you all hear me say
There's a calm before the storm
Don't say that you ain't been warned
A calm before the storm
And it's coming for you
There's a calm before the storm
