2.0 poor | Risodo | February 2nd 18 | I bought this album a while ago and I realize now how I threw my money in the trash. It's obvious that he has the impact and influence on both Thrash and Black Metal, but this is weak in every way. Sounds like Manowar trying to being a Satanist band but forget that it has neither quality nor attributes to at least fit the genre.

3.0 good | Gene Gol CONTRIBUTOR | April 5th 24 | I get the history and the influence of this album, but I have also heard an overwhelming amount of significantly better black metal or even bm-esque albums. This is ugly and messy, but I get what it means for the development of metal.
Bump |
3.0 good | Gary STAFF | December 4th 23 | The icon, the ugly devil... Black Metal is a legendary release: but I'll agree with that mostly because of its historical importance. I say 'mostly', because the first half of the album doesn't really offer that much excitement. However, from the #7 song, "Sacrifice", things get quite interesting. The first hints of extremity will make their check-in, foreshadowing the birth and the sounds of first Bathory releases. (Come on Quorthon, you liar, you clearly were inspired by this album!)

4.0 excellent | BillyBrill | December 14th 22 | Very enjoyable very influential, even if I gotta say I?m not like MEGA impressed in a vacuum by any aspect of the music, I was thoroughly entertained

1.5 very poor | Ronike | October 22nd 20 | This could very easily be a 1. It deserves a 1, even. Legitimately some of the worst shit I've ever had the displeasure of listening to.
Bump |
4.0 excellent | Horfeepee01 | June 7th 19 | The track "Black Metal" is practically iconic at this point, but the rest of this album is entirely forgettable. However, I'm bumping this from a 3 to a 3.5 due to its retrospective significance in the metal scene.

4.5 superb | TP397 | December 13th 16 | An almost perfect album for me. Not quite because of track 5. But I love Venom, this is and will always remain as my fave Venom album.
Bump |
2.5 average | Aftertheascension | March 20th 15 | Good instrumentals overall, but the vocals are atrocious and so is the quality, production, and especially the lyrics.
Bump |
0.0 | RYMsfullofscenesters | September 25th 13 | Nothing's more boring than arguing about what genre this belongs to. Who cares? It finds a perfect middle ground between pop (ok, NWoBHM, whatever) and and the kind of churning, guttural ugliness that would later define more extreme metal variants, all delivered with a life-affirming sloppiness that must be kryptonite to modern metalheads raised on Relapse crap.
Bump |
5.0 classic | Winter | March 23rd 12 | This has grown on me a lot, a truly classic and a lot of influence on other bands and the genre in itself.
Bump |
4.0 excellent | IndustryFails | March 17th 10 | A great start to thrash metal, and having the lyrics of occultism and satanism and dirty, gritty riffs. This is what helped create black metal, as well as the death and thrash metal genres.
Bump |
4.0 excellent | Xenorazr | February 7th 10 | Unapologetic both in both music and imagery, Venom's second studio album manages to trump over its weak production and deliver a sound that still packs a strong punch.
Bump |
4.5 superb | evilcrusher | November 15th 09 | I bought this album a little after it was released simply for its album cover. It was just too evil too pass up. The music blew my mind. I felt weird listening to something that sounded so evil.
