Venom vs. Bathory

This is Bathory for me but i love WTH and BM

I listen way more to early Bathory than viking tho

FUCK OFF AND DIE!

FUCK OFF AND DIE!

i keep yelling that at people i see on the street but it never goes well, even after i say "Don't listen to much Venom do you?"

venom is what i thought punk sounded like before i ever heard punk

I so hated Venom when I was first into metal because to me metal that ugly was just revolting but now that's why I love it so much. years, perspective, etc....

I had a friend who used to make fun of them forever and then realized he confused them with Poison the entire time.

The American or the German Poison?

American!

"Venom" and "POison" similar terms I guess it makes sense

i keep getting an Aguirre The Wrath Of God vibe from Bathory

This is so otm it's not even funny any more.

And yet, as much as I love Bathory (boy do they kick Venom's butt), the perfect follow-up to an intro like Storm of Damnation for me still is Lurker of Chalice's s/t. They wouldn't exist without Bathory but it's BM taken to a whole new level imo.

I met this cute girl at the Eyehategod show on Monday. she introduced herself because she was sitting at the table near me, we hit it off, started flirting before she disappeared to the front of the stage later in the evening.

She had a Venom patch on her jean jacket. ergo, Venom wins.

bathory >>>>>>

been spending a lot of time with the first two albums and they fucking rip

otm

yeah, otm

under the sign of the black mark is the most awesome album ever made

did venom ever do epic Viking shit

I like bathory a lot. venom is too real for my poser ass

I had no idea that Jonas Åkerlund, who directed Lords of Chaos, was Bathory's drummer from 1983 to 1984.

Bathory but Venom is underrated, especially latter-day stuff

It's true, the first two Venom albums are worthy of all the praise of course but there's very solid (and varied) material in the later albums. A lot of chaff tho.

did venom ever do epic Viking shit

I hate Viking Bathory so that's a point for Venom

Bathory is slightly more important, probably.
I listen to Venom slightly more often personally.

Early Bathory are way more inspiring to me, where I feel like I'm hearing the seed of black metal's potentiality. I don't quite get the same feeling from Venom.

Under the Sign of the Black Mark is one of my favorite albums of all time. Love the first two Venom albums too, but Bathory for me.
