'83:b Time Changes
Aka The Puritanical Satanists
“We were rehearsing like 6, 7 times a week. We wanted to make the music more difficult so no one could cover it.” – Timi Hansen (Bass)
“Sometimes when I couldn’t sleep, I’d get up in the middle of the night, grab the guitar and just keep adding ideas to the song.” – Hank Shermann (Guitar)
“I speak for the Dead.” – King Diamond (Skull)
They were obsessed. Committed. In a wicked good way. Puritanical satanists with a work ethic that would make even Iron Maiden blush. Completely committed to their craft. Of bending the metal world to their will. When they showed up at the BBC in ’81 to record, they positively floored everyone. You see, it’s not that they weren’t NWOBHM , it’s just that they completely outclassed, outworked, and yes, out-Sataned their competition from Britain (besides Maiden!). They had a practice regimen that could only compare to the almighty Black Flag. And if anyone knows the Parable of the Talents , let’s just say Mercyful Fate were making music in the early 80s that would have even made Jesus proud!
The Verdict: Another First Wave Of Black Metal classic. So now we have 3! Venom's 1) Welcome to Hell (1981) & 2) Black Metal (1982). 3) Melissa (1983)
