This week I listened to Black Metal by Venom. I am not new to metal by any means. I had a pretty serious metal era back in my youth; it was basically all I would listen to. Yet somehow, this significant album slipped right by me back then, so I sought to rectify that by listening to it now. I have to say, I am sad that I didn't listen to it back then because this is a great album. It starts hard and stays hard the whole time. Great riffs the whole way through. The vocals are also great, they sit in that middle ground between singing and straight growling which I love a lot. The production is also not very good in the best way possible, I really like that in metal music. It is dirty and grimy which adds to the energy and tone of the album. Overall it's a great album and I can see how a lot of other bands that I've heard were influenced by this. 8/10
If want to suggest albums for me to listen to, leave them in the comments!
