Classic lineup (1981–1986) 經典陣容(1981 -1986) Venom's recording debut was the 1981 single "In League with Satan" /"Live Like an Angel" which was released by Neat Records. Later that year they released their full-length debut, Welcome to Hell. Venom於1981正式發行由Neat Records所發行的單曲”In league with Satan” /”Live Llike an Angel”，同年發行了第一張專輯Welcome to Hell。 Though crudely recorded with sometimes dubious musicianship, Welcome to Hell was still a remarkable tour de force for the era. Venom's music was faster and harsher than most heavy metal contemporaries and while Satanism and other dark topics had been featured in metal before, the subject had rarely been more prominent. Lant was quoted as saying that this celebration of evil subjects was inspired by the perceived need to out-do musicians like Ozzy Osbourne of Black Sabbath, who would 'sing about evil things and dark figures, and then spoil it all by going: "Oh, no, no, please, God, help me!" 僅管錄製品質極差且彈奏手法令人持疑，但Welcome to Hell仍在那時代有著卓越的成績。Venom相較於當時重金屬合唱團更快速、更粗糙的樂風以及較其他樂團在歌詞上更早廣泛地提及撒旦主義及人類的黑暗面，Lants聲稱此種撒旦崇拜的行為是受到了前輩Ozzy於Black Sabbath時歌曲中所提到的憂暗邪惡畫面所激發出的一種表現手法 (這段超難翻…) Their second album, 1982's Black Metal is cited as perhaps the most important influence in the development of black metal, thrash metal, death metal, and other related styles that are often grouped under the extreme metal umbrella. Many defining elements of these genres are first found in the lyrics and song titles created by Lant and his unique singing style as well as the guitar work and solos performed by Dunn. Though they would later be cited as important, neither of Venom’s first two albums sold well upon their original release. And while many of their British metal peers had found measures of popular success or critical acclaim (or, like Def Leppard, were moving away from metal towards hard rock), Venom were still regarded by critics as "a trio of buffoons". 1982年發行的第二張專輯Black Metal被認為對於黑金、死金、鞭金及與極限金屬有相關性樂風等分支之發展有其不容置疑的重大影響，此些樂風現今所認為的許多基本元素都於Lant所創作之歌曲和其特殊的唱腔還有Dunn的吉他彈奏方式中初次發現。無論是造成熱賣的前兩張專輯或先前所自行發行的創作，這些作品皆被後世引述為十分重要的創作。而在其他英國同時期合唱團受到大眾歡迎及成功的同時， Venom卻還是被戲成為”三重奏小丑” In an attempt to prove their status as serious musicians, Venom recorded At War with Satan in 1984. The epic 20-minute title track, with substantial progressive rock influences, took up the first side of the LP. The B-side was focused on the rapid-fire, three-minute "scorchers" Venom were known for. In 1985, Venom released their fourth album, Possessed, which was not as successful as previous albums. Dunn then left the band to pursue a solo career. 為了證明他們是一群認真創作的優秀嚴肅音樂家們，Venom在1984年錄製了At War with Satan。其受到前衛搖滾影響所創作長達20分鐘的經典同名歌曲整整塞滿的專輯的A面，在B面則是滿滿的典型Venom歌曲－快速、充滿爆發力，其中又以scorcher為代表。1985年，Venom發行了第四張專輯，Possessed，但此張專輯並不如先前三張專輯般的成功。在此同時，Dunn則為了展開個人樂手生涯而離開合唱團。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 61.56.154.226
