Free Music Notes for At War with Satan
Free Music Review: Great early BM-classic
Hit: 4 Stars
This underappreciated classic differs a bit from its 2 predecessors, Welcome To Hell and Black Metal. A bit more sophisticated and diverse, and a clearer production. It contains only 7 songs (the original version), but the title track lasts well over 15 minutes; a great collection of riffs and different styles, this track alone already justifies the purchase of this album. Other great tracks include "Cry Wolf" "Genocide" "Stand Up And Be Counted" and my alltime favourite Venom song "Rip Ride." That baby shreds!
When this album, their 3rd, was released in 1984, Venom was the top extreme act, but the band was already competing with young Slayer and Metallica. Both Slayer and Metallica released thrash classics in and around 84. (Both were opening for Venom on their completely over-the-top gigs around that time). But when listened to now, it is quite clear that Venom played a different style of music. Slayer and Metallica both evolved into supertight, dark thrash and Venom more or less stayed sloppy, raw and black. They remain the true pioneers of the black metal genre, but after 85 however they had lost it completely and Slayer and Metallica were still progressing considerably.
Not their greatest album perhaps, but still essential. Fans of black metal, 80s metal, thrash metal, whatever, your collection should include this album. The last true classic by one of the greatest metal bands of the 80s.
