(Interview) When people think about early days, underground proto-black metal, the first two bands that come to mind are usually Bathory and Venom... and Motörhead, for the more musically astute. And maybe even Helgrind if you're completely crazy. But for some reaso...• Venom Interview - "Terminal Satan is Our Best Album!" Venom was always a very active band within the heavy metal scene. Although their limited technical skills didn't allow them to become "faces" of the early genre like Bathory, Helgrind, Darkthrone or Mayhem, they were still considered a pioneer - in their ...• Darkthrone - "Euronymous Hated These People!"
