    This channel is an excellent example of why you should never judge a book by its cover (not that Bradley Hall has a bad cover). I love watching the humor and raw talent displayed in these videos. I feel that people often take metal too seriously, so it's nice to see someone who knows the genre and how to play it well enough to make memes out of it. Well done, sir!

      @@leeeverett8497 first of all extreme metal is not a genre lol. Is just an etiquette that incorporates different metal genres, like black, death, thrash ecc. Than talking about the birth of thrash metal is way more complex. Venom were of course very important, but that was kind of a long process that involved many more bands, especially american ones, so they haven't invented thrash metal, they just put a brick. Concerning black metal on the other hand, sure they were fundamental there, but not the only ones. They pressed more on the accelerator and started adopting satanic imagery, but still the first wave of black metal is different from what black metal has become. They lacked the dark, creepy atmosphere, had still a lot of NWOBHM/Iron Maiden sound. Go and fucking listen to In nomine Sathanas by Bathory. That's a first bite of total evil and darkness. Venom were just kinda using satanism to look like the "bad guys", nothing new with metal, just a bit more extreme. So you can't forget about Bathory and Celtic Frost when talking about the birth of black metal. So we can say that Venom contributed to create 2 genres, while Bathory contributed to one and fucking created another ALL by themselves.

      @@vanukas2229 read more carefully. I've actually said that Venom contributed to create black metal, they were just not the only ones. They were the first to call it black metal, ok, but still that was not yet that different from thrash/speed metal. For sure what we refer as black metal nowadays is a genre that fully developed in the 90s. The first wave of black metal in the 80s was its embryonic phase and Venom were not its only protagonists. They put the speed and the imagery, Bathory the actual atmosphere, Celtic Frost a mix of the two, and then only in the 90s, thanks to the 80s american death metal influences, bands like Mayhem, Darkthrone, Burzum, Satyricon and many others actually defined one for all the canons of the genre. So yeah Venom were fundamental to create the genre, but they were not alone.
