A seminal influence on the development of jactitate and black metallic element, Venom formed during the recent '70s in Newcastle, England. Originally a five-piece mathematical group called Oberon, they eventually cut their lineup to a triple comprising singer/bassist Conrad "Cronos" Lant, guitar player Jeff "Mantas" Dunn, and drummer Tony "Abaddon" Bray. Influenced by the cloggy strength of Motörhead and the visual flash of Kiss, the new rechristened Venom developed a drab, red-hot sound which paved the style for the subsequent get up of thrash medicine; likewise, their ghastly, proudly diabolic simulacrum proved a major divine guidance for the legions of dim metal bands to appear in their heat, level loaning the genre its mention with the release of their 1982 soph LP, Dark Metal. (Their debut, Welcome to Hell, preceded it by a twelvemonth.)
Venom's third album, At War with Satan, followed in 1983, and deuce years later they released Possessed. Lineup changes plagued the mathematical group in the years to follow, with Mantas exiting in the awaken of 1985's live Eine Kleine Nachtmusik; guitarists Matt Hickey and Jimmy Clare were tapped as his replacements, fashioning their debut on 1987's Lull Before the Storm. Cronos then throw in the towel as well, nonetheless, climb a solo life history and taking both Hickey and Clare with him as he left wing; at that level Mantas rejoined Abaddon to var. a new edition of Venom with onetime Atomkraft vocalist/bassist Tony "The Demolition Risk" Dolan and guitar player Al Barnes. The new card made its curtain call on 1989's Prime Evil; Tear Your Soul Apart appeared a class later.
After 1991's Temples of Ice, Barnes foreswear Venom; his absence was filled by guitarist Steve "War Maniac" White, world Health Organization on with keyboardist V.X.S. was recruited in time for 1992's The Waste Lands before both chop-chop exited. The trio of Mantas, Abaddon, and Dolan continued touring end-to-end the heart days of the decade, although no more than new studio recordings were coming; in the end, in 1996 Cronos returned to the Venom fold, making way for Dolan's departure. The original lineup's generate to action was heralded by the release of the mini-album Venom '96, followed in 1997 by the uncut Made in Stone. After a human beings turn, Venom issued the two-disc New, Live & Rare in mid-1998. Interred Alive appeared a class later, and in the spring of 2000 the group returned with The Court of Death and Beauty and the Beast. In 2006 they storied their 25th anniversary with Alloy Black.
