Venom were the pioneers of extreme metal and the roads cleared by pioneers are never smooth. Consider Venom the axes and squeaky wagonwheels forging their way through the uncharted terrain of black metal. Most of the tunes here sound like they were recorded in a garage on a compact office-type cassette recorder. And Cronos, Mantas and Abaddon as musicians will never be confused with Rob Halford, Yngwie Malmsteen and Dave Lombardo. But together the recordings have a lot of (evil) spirit (boo!) and the cartoonish lyrics are great. Venom is classic!

This CD is the best.. it's got everything from Welcome to hell to the new albums. It's got all the best ones like "Die Hard" "buried alive" "black metal" and more.

Venom are THE best metal band of all time. Any metal fan who ignores them ignores the biggest influence on any current metal band out there. They ARE metal. Period.

Venom is the most important influence at the pass and future this is the most letal compilation of the hell music , the retun of the darkness IT'S THE BESTH SELECTION El mejor disco recopilatorio del trabajo de VENOM altamente recomendable.

This is the best Cronos-era compilation, track listing-wise. Sure, "In League With Satan" is remastered, while this is a mid-price release, but this has the ORIGINAL versions of "Black Metal", "Welcome To Hell", and several other well-known songs. On "In League..", "Black Metal" is a VERY abbreviated 40 second live version, and sounds much newer. Other songs are later live versions as well on that one. That one is supposedly the "official" comp. but this is best. Get this, and "The Collection", a mid-price comp. of the Demolition Man years, and you will not be disappointed!

This cd is chalk full of venoms classic hits from when they first started.The production is bad but the songs are great and have lots of passion from this legendary band.I would recommend this cd to any fan of this band who doesnt already own all their albums.METAL RULES!!!

This is the album of the year! Venom is back with a vengeance. All of these tracks are heavy and mean -- just like the Welcome to Hell days all over again!

this is a really good band. Cronos has such a great voice. The band can really play. if you want to listen to venom i would suggest getting this cd or one of there older ones first (especially if you have never heard them) such as: welcome to hell, black metal, at war with satan, and in league with satan. well in case you didnt know this band's music is black metal so that means it has to do with satanic lyrics. if that doesnt offend you then go for it. Venom is raw and fast. so yeah i would really recommend venom.

Venom is the most under rated band of all time. I cannot express how good this collection is.
