Released for the first time on DVD, this Venom collection features selections from the early years – and early incarnations - (1979 – 1985) of one of the best black/thrash/speed metal bands of all time. In the first half of the Eighties, Venom cut their three most influential albums - 'Welcome To Hell', 'Black Metal' and 'At War With Satan' - as a power trio in the Motorhead mould. Both as a part of the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal movement and as precursors of thrash metal, Venom were as influential as any British metal band of their era, The DVD not only contains backstage and pastiche pieces of the band at home in and around Newcastle, it also contains the full “Making Of” film produced when the video for “Nightmare” was being shot. A selection of live concert shoots and video clips makes this a must for any collector of a genre, pioneered by Venom and very few others.
