Venom Welcome To Hell Rar3/21/2021
Whod have thought I have worked within a range of industries, writing for hundreds of national magazines and newspapers in the UK, Europe and the USA covering: aviation, music, computer technology, computer gaming, hi-fi, mobile technology, home automation, ladys lifestyle, plastic model making, antiques and more.This particular album and group might not have been viewed by some as being within the very core of the scene but they remained inextricably linked to that movement.
New Wave of British Heavy Metal got under way around 1979, the year Venom was formed. Punk had died. Metal was lame. There could only be one new way to do this for metal bands to get some fg balls again. Metallica, Behemoth, Celtic Frost and Mayhem would all convey their respect in terms of influence. Now Im then playin them for the record company and they were like, No. Its lousy. So we had three days and we recorded all of Welcome to Hell.demos, as far as we were concerned. Next week we got the record company saying, We will release this as it is now as an album or forget it. Nevertheless, the rather obstreperous label executive actually did Venom an unwitting favour because the resultant raw sound, with stripped production values and now understandably less-than-considered performances was what made the final LP so revolutionary. And doing so, the band almost accidentally opened a brand new door into a host of new heavy metal sub-genres: black metal, thrash et al. The box is meaty, weighty and feels like youve just grabbed yourself a bunch of value for your money. Theres not a lot of air inside, unlike some box sets I could name. Comes with reproductions of original poster and insert with an embossed cover. The first 300 orders from the official store receive a signed art card. This is a very neutral mastering performance, although imagery is intriguing. For example, the general cut of the album itself is almost wholly staged around the stereo image, giving a mono cut feel to it. We already know that this album was basically a collection of demos. Who knows, the entire album may have been taped onto one track, for all we know (can anyone out there enlighten me) Id love to know the precise recording history behind this one. Theyre still a bit on the shy side but a more expansive vocal performance is a notable result of this broadening effect. Maybe the original idea on Welcome to Hell was to produce a claustrophobic, intrusive and tense presentation. Everything is where it should be so listening pleasure is not strained at all and detail is plentiful. As the band themselves might have it, either go grab it or go to hell.
