On this day, November 1, 1982, Venom released their landmark album Black Metal. This album not only solidified Venom’s influence in the heavy metal world but also helped coin the term “black metal,” inspiring an entire subgenre with its dark themes, raw energy, and aggressive sound. Featuring tracks like “Countess Bathory” and the title track “Black Metal,” the album became a defining release for fans of extreme metal.
