I love it!

Review Score: (10/10)
Though some have voiced their dislike of this re-released import, Venom's "Black Metal" is undoubtedly a complete, intriguing compilation of tight metal. I don't know what the original version offered, hence, I don't have the frame of reference or discerning capabilities some of these veteran metalheads possess. Nevertheless, tunes like "Black Metal," "Raise the Dead," "Teacher's Pet," and some of the outtakes like "Bursting Out," "Acid Queen," "Too Loud for the Crowd," and "Hounds of Hell" simply rage! This is classic stuff, and is likely the Venom catalog's finest offering.
