Venom are an English heavy metal band that formed in 1979
in Newcastle upon Tyne. Coming to prominence towards the
end of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, Venom's first
two albums—Welcome to Hell (1981) and Black Metal (1982)—
are considered a major influence on thrash metal and extreme
metal in general. Venom's second album proved influential
enough that its title was used as the name of an extreme
metal subgenre: black metal.
Venom是一隻1979年於英國新堡(英格蘭東北)所成立的合唱團。
搭著NWOBHM世代的末班車，Venom於1981以及1982年分別發行了
對鞭金與極限金屬之形成有重大影響的第一、二張專輯－
Welcome to Hell、Black Metal。而Black Metal的專輯名稱也
點出其可能為黑金屬之名稱由來的參考。
Early years (1978–1981)
早期 (1978-1981)
Venom's original personnel came from three different bands:
Guillotine, Oberon and Dwarf Star. The original Guillotine
featured Jeffrey Dunn and Dave Rutherford on guitars, Dean
Hewitt on bass guitar, Dave Blackman on vocals and Chris
Mercater on drums. Blackman and Mercater were replaced by
drummer Anthony Bray and vocalist Clive Archer of Oberon
and soon after, Dean Hewitt was replaced by Alan Winston on
bass. Around this time the name Venom was created. In the
late autumn of 1979 Conrad Lant, from the bands Dwarf Star
and Album Graecum, replaced Dave Rutherford. Lant later
switched to bass after the departure of Winston.
Venom的原始成員分別來自Guillotine、Oberon和Dwarf Star這三個
合唱團。 Guillotine最早的陣容為兩位結他手－Jeffrey Dunn與
Dave Rutherford、低音結他手Dean Hewitt、主唱Dave Blackman及
鼓手Chris Mercater，Blackman及Mercater隨後即被來自Oberon的
主唱Clive Archer、鼓手Anthony Bray取代，而Alan Winston也接替
了Dean Hewitt低音結他手之位置，隨此陣容的形成團名也改成了現
今所知的Venom陣容。而在1979年晚秋，Conrad Lant (原Dwarf Star)
接替了結他手Dave Rutherford，不過因Winston離團之源故轉任為低
音結他手。
Prime influences of the formative band were Black Sabbath,
Judas Priest, Motorhead and Kiss.Other bands cited by Venom
as an inspiration are Queen, The Who, Deep Purple, Sex Pistols,
Van Halen, The Tubes and Rolling Stones.
早期Venom樂風主要受Black Sabbath、Judas Priest、Motorhead、
Kiss等合唱團之影響，而Venom的創作中充斥不少其他靈感來源，如Queen、
The Who、Deep Purple、Sex pistols、Van Halen、The Tubes、
Rolling Stones。
Venom's lyrics often featured Satanic references, and the band
members took on new stage names. Archer became 'Jesus Christ',
Lant 'Mr. Cronos', Bray 'Tony Abaddon', and Dunn 'Jeff Mantas'.
在Venom的歌詞中可見其頻繁地參考了撒旦魔鬼等字眼，而此同時團員
也紛紛取了花枝招展的藝名，Archer變成了Jesus Christ (耶穌)、Lant
成了克洛諾斯大人(希臘神話中第一代泰坦十二神之領袖，天空之神Uranus
及大地之神Gaia之子，宙斯a老被)、Bray成了東尼．亞巴頓(希伯來語，
意指毀滅之地，於新約聖經．啟示錄中意指掌管無底坑使者之名)，Dunn成了
Jeff Mantas(這感覺沒前面幾個那麼威)。
In April 1980, the band recorded a three-song disc, featuring
"Angel Dust", "Raise the Dead", and "Red Light Fever". Soon
afterward, six more tracks were recorded for just ￡50, with
Lant taking vocal duties on the song "Live Like an Angel".
Archer soon left the band, and Venom's line-up became a trio.
於1980年四月，Venom錄製了一張包含3首歌(Angel Dust、Raise the Dead
、Red Light Fever)的demo。緊接著，Venom共花了50鎊錄製了六首歌，
其中包含了由Lant獻聲的Live Like an Angel。但隨著Archer的離團，
Venom成了一隻三人合唱團。
