Short, fast, and mighty good........2003-03-16

This cd is great all the way through. Pop it into your computer and you get live footage, songs not found on the cd, and so much more. In my opinion Tesco Vee is one of the most unappriciated punk writers of out time. If you are a fan of punk rock and dont have this cd yet, your collection is incomplete. The only complaint is at first glance the cd dosent have that many songs, but after you put it in your computer there is more than enough to keep you satisfied.

Classic!.......2006-01-27

There is a lot to say about this collection of Venom classics.

When I first heard of them way back when I was a little disappointed as I was expecting something a lot more extreme. My first listen was Black Metal and was surprised some songs were build on top of a very pop rock structure.

However, some songs just stood out. Countess Bathory is one of the most perfectly constructed songs I have ever heard.

It is really ironic that Venom is the main inspiration of the current Black Metal deteriated music scene. The main reason is that Venom wouldn't even be classified in the current Black Metal genre. The second reason is that Venom was based on a lot of humor which sharply constrasts the moronic seriousness of current black metal. While Venom was and remains extremely unique, current black metal all conforms to formulas which are extremely mundane and uninteresting.

Besides being idolized by the unimaginative, Venom also gets a lot of unwarranted disrespect as being untalented musicians.

While it is true, Venom may not have excelled in a lot of technically difficult instrument playing, that is not the alpha/omega of musicianmanship. In the area of song writing, Venom at times could be phenomenal. There is a lot talent in utilizing creative ways to structure 'simple' sounds to create unique and enjoyable music. In this way, Venom is to extreme music what (old) AC/DC is to metal.

This collection has many examples of this great songwriting.

Stand Up and Be Counted

Still some songs may deserve the cheezy image they have been branded with.

Witching Hour
Satanarchist
Aaaaarghhh
Manitou (Horrendous song)
and others

The enjoyable thing about Venom is their humorous over to top attitude which hasn't been passed to the current more-evil-than-thou black metal grandchildren. (Grindporn is the only remaining creative genre descended from the extreme metal roots and there is a lot of conformist garbage there too)

Overall, this is a great collection that well represents Venom during the years before they denegerated attempting more mainstream success.

Great Potential Ruined.......2004-11-23

Being a bloody yank American, I am thrilled that Sanctuary/Castle is re-releasing all of the classic 1981-1985 Venom material. I'm not sure about Great Britain, but in America this stuff has been deleted for years and all that has been avaialble is tons of compilations. A new one seems to come out every year, it's ridiculous. Now us Americans can get the proper early Venom albums imported from Great Britain, thanks to Sanctuary.

I was at first very excited about this anthology, which came out in addition to the proper early albums. I was glad to finally see an ESSENTIAL compilation of all the early recordings. Popping this in, it looked like my wish came true at first. I turn on CD 1 and we get a cool tour intro, followed directly by the tracks In League With Satan and Live Like An Angel (Die Like A Devil). Then comes Welcome To Hell, a true Venom classic. Unfortunately, it is a rerecording done in the early 90s with Demolition Man on bass and vocals instead of Cronos. Witching Hour, Angel Dust, Black Metal, Buried Alive, Teacher's Pet, Countess Bathory, Die Hard, and Bursting Out also get the same treatment. This is an absolute shame. Don't get me wrong because I love The D-Man on vocals, but I believe these compilations should have the original recordings instead. I believe most of these appear on the Kissing The Beast compilation. I was prepared to go back in time from 1981 - 1985 and instead we get some re-recordings. They're all right in themselves, much tighter than the originals. That is not a good thing though, because part of the charm of original Venom was how loose they sounded. Mixing original and re-recordings gives an inconsistent feel. Another bad thing is we only get 47 seconds of Black Metal, arguably the defining Venom song. Having the re-recordings instead of the originals was bad enough, but that is just throwing salt on the wounds.

CD 2, which covers the At War With Satan and Possessed eras, is perfect. 100% Cronos era Venom. I don't think Demolition Man re-recorded these songs at all, unlike the first two albums. The best thing about this is the Nightmare single is on it. For some reason this one never appears on any of the other compilations, which is a shame because it is an excellent song.

Another nice touch added is you get radio ads and talk from the original era that takes you back to the original Venom era. This would work even better if it was mixed with all original recordings.

Well, fellow Legions, to sum it up, we have a disappointing CD 1 and a perfect CD 2. Let's hope someday the perfect Venom compilation comes out some time in the future. I keep hoping a new one will sample tracks from EVERY Venom album, including the Dolon era ones Prime Evil, Temples of Ice, and The Waste Lands, and not include any re-recordings. Unfortunately, this isn't it. This had the potential to be it, but failed with the stupid idea of throwing in those re-recordings and not warning the potential buyer.

Good compilation bad production.......2004-01-15

I made the wrong decision of buying this compilation instead of the original cd's for my archive. Remastering just hasn't worked here. You should hear Venom in their raw form on the albums not compilations although the sound quality is worse on the albums. Black metal, a landmark song in heavy metal history is cut in half for some strange reason. Like I said, get the albums unless this will be your one and only Venom purchase in life.

Classic Venom collection.......2003-10-22

This is part of the Sanctuary/Metal-Is NWOBHM collection. "In League With Satan" is a double-CD compilation featuring the most noteworthy tracks from Venom's classic first four albums: "Welcome to Hell", "Black Metal", "At War With Satan" and "Possessed". For those who are only dimly aware of how important this band was to the development of the thrash, death and black metal genres, this collection would be a perfect place to start. The tracks have been remastered from their original tapes, which is either fortunate or unfortunate, depending on your point of view: Venom was a coarse and raw band that cared little for production values! All of their best known songs are present here, and the booklet features an entertaining and comprehensive biography that will have you seeking out the original albums in no time, and wishing that you could have been there when these guys were scaring the pants off the establishment all those years ago. Recommended!
