{"product_id":"various-artists-a-tribute-to-venom","title":"VARIOUS ARTISTS A Tribute To Venom","description":"\u003cp\u003eWithout Venom there is no black metal, no thrash metal as we know it, and arguably no death metal either. Three blokes from Newcastle decided in 1979 that everything needed to be louder, filthier, and more blasphemous, and the entire extreme metal underground has been living in that debt ever since.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tribute pulls together a pack of bands doing what tribute albums do best when they work: not replicating the originals, but running them through their own filter. Venom's catalogue, from \u003cem\u003eWelcome to Hell\u003c\/em\u003e through to \u003cem\u003eBlack Metal\u003c\/em\u003e, is the kind of material that invites different interpretations across black, thrash, and proto-extreme metal. The contributor list reads like a who's-who of bands who actually absorbed the lesson rather than just citing the influence. Promoters of the Third World War doing what they do.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFull length album on CD. Covers compilation.
