WelcometoHell- Venom
=
Venom is regarded as the fathers to black metal; when in reality they were a New Wave of Heavy Metal band with black metal 'imagery'; any metal band today, you can trace it back to its origins: Venom. That is how much Venom in its early days influenced the entire metal world. The three main bands at the time- Judas Priest, Black Sabbath and Motorhead was doing their music and Venom just blew them away in terms of creativity and speed, and paved the way for new bands to come along later. All bands afterwards (in death, thrash and black metal) took its raw intensity and aggressiveness influence from Venom and put their own creativeness to shape the two metal genres today: thrash and black metal.
Now; the album. It is where the term black metal was taken and created an entire new genre of metal ...
Advantages: Excellent inventive record Disadvantages: Tinny noise, badly produced, sloppy at times
WelcometoHell is a superb debut album by Venom. Released in January 1981 on Neat Records, it brought a whole new meaning to heavy metal as this Newcastle NWOBHM band produced the hardest album with the darkest material to date at that time.

Despite the dubious musicianship on the album, the riffs and choruses in particular are so catchy that they are very memorable and easy ...
Advantages: A nice & mildly amusing film, includes a moose! Disadvantages: Film got bad press and was a flop, not enough moose in it.
Welcometo Marymooseport (there's a Maryport, and now a Mooseport, so I think there should be a Marymooseport)!
An introduction
For those of you who don't have the pleasure of knowing me, my name is not marymoose because I look like a moose (although if indeed you think that I look like a moose I will take that as a compliment), it is because I am obsessed with moose (and before you ask, the plural of moose is moose) and all things moose-related.
Back when I worked at the Church of England imagine my excitement when I was surfing the net one day (searching for moose I would imagine) and came across a new film that was being made called "Welcometo Mooseport". It was like all my Christmoose's and Moosedays had come at once!
It wasn't until a year later that I finally managed to get my hands on the DVD. The film was ...
