They more than anyone else has been credited as influencing so many sub-genres of metal; trash, black metal, death metal, extreme metal and probably much more. Slated as bringing together the heavy metal foundations and imagery Black Sabbath started a decade earlier, and Motorhead's distortion and speed.
Their influence is undeniable, with the title of their second album being the name of a while sub-genre, and as thrash influencer, Slayer and Metallica both have apparently played support of Venom during the 80's (and critics say Venom riffs etc can be heard in songs from both bands).
They apparently have a new album due out in 2011.
