I loved this masterpiece from day one in ‘84. It pissed me off when reviews said it was almost good & it failed. It should have been hailed as VENOMS finest work & it’s good to see people getting into it now.
The intro and outro alone could be short movies. Some serious thought went into the wording alone and despite how great this song is, it would be incomplete without the intro/outro
The dark silhouette of the creature Poised, crouched on the corner of a cliffs edge Waits eagerly, eyes glare patiently Red eyes filled with fire and torment Gleam in the frenzied brightness Across the shadowed valleys below A crack of thunder breaks the deafening silence Which once ruled the planes, the creature is unmoved By the commotion and the noise, and the blinding fork Of lightening which strikes only a few yards from where Lays it wait for something... Satan laughs, wings spread to magnificent fullness The creature stands at full glory, inhaling deeply The ice cold air each tender muscle rippling in The almighty stench of the great dimensional deity... Lucifer smiles, from the far far west a chariot of fire Emerges travelling at a tremendous speed toward the Creature. The creature laughs as if in an immense State of frenzy. The creature leaps up off the ridge And hollers with dignity in the now cloudless sky Its long red hair blowing freely in the wind... The chariot emerges and with a sharp swift movement The creature takes the reigns and flies up into the Night, howling out immortal cries, a prediction of war At war with Satan!
Metal needs to go back to this, tired of all the super downtuned Djent guitar and incomprehensible fry vocals. That stuff can be cool, but let’s go back to kickass riffs and actual story telling.
I agree. Classic Metal has always represented what Metal means to me, personally. I’m not really into a lot of the newer approaches that certain bands have in modern death metal, black metal, and even modern thrash.
@@gurrenmed5319 I agree I’ve found good modern metal bands, but the largely well known among the community just haven’t captured that magic for me personally like all the great bands of yesteryear. Some of my favorite modern bands are Stoned Jesus, Howling Giant, and Mastodon
No other track has got me like this one....there´s something truly unique and dark about it....this was THE track that totally spellbound me and made me Venom-fan for life
Este tema me voló la cabeza cuando salió, allá por el 83, y aún me la sigue volando. He escuchado mucho metal extremo desde entonces, y creo que esta banda fue la primera a la que se le pudo categorizar como tal.
Love venom from 1983 ,got this album also on picture disk and video seven dates off hell all original from 84 , 40 years old now and still own them pure gems
Satan Laughs, Damnation has sunk it's talons deep into the heart of utopia, spilling forth great streams of virginal purity and bliss. I memorized that whole thing when I was 15 I think. It made me smarter. I went out and learned what Tetragrammaton was in reference to. Simply put ....God.
The complete structure, with changes of slow to fast to slow, small dream sequences, it picks up, then new riffs, ...it constantly unfurls the whole way. This is an epic journey/tale basically.
On more then one occasion, I searched for this song on those digital Jukebox's often located in bars / restaurants. After selecting this song, I would sit back and wait. I cannot explain the expressions on peoples faces when the song came. Tow of the Three occasions, the owner or manager pulled the plug. Me and my friends demanded our money back and vowed never to return to the bar again. The downside, we had to find another bar that served $2 Pabst or Old Milwaukie's.
Venom is by far, the best metal band to ever exist. I say this with decades of metal experience. There are no rivals. Venom rules from their perched landings and there isn't shit anybody can do about it. Accept Venom or fuck right on off!! We aint playing anymore!
Bought this 14 or 15 years old. Listened to on Sanyo Hi Fi separates, 80 Watts, right in the full sized cans. Well past the "Health and Safety" limits. Blew my tiny little mind. Still does.
El mejor grupo de todos los tiempos de Black metal, padres creadores de este estilo con su sonido sucio nada refinado y con la voz del loco de cronos. VENOM FOREVER
Such a brilliant classic..truest black metal..I am not at war with Satan..I am At War WITH SATAN...his presence grows daily..Hail Satanas..👿😈thanks very much..\m/
The song shows it all, the twisted circle, infinity, Around it all goes in a slightly perfect imbalance all the time tightly woven/knitted (Yin and Yang) continuous war... Brilliant ;)
@@raypurchase5881what sort of satanic remark is that? I'll have you know that you are the same sorta person who killed Jesus, Hitler, Tupoc, and Biggie.
First time I heard this was 1984 or maybe 85, I was tripping on LSD in a friends basement. Just sitting there listening and silently tripping balls. So many good times on acid. It was always an adventure of the mind. No regrets.
I had this vinyl. I could open the folder and see a burning crucifix... I discovered his albums chronologically, in the mid '80s. This is my favorite. Unique and original.
I'm Christian. Grew up on Chronos, Mantas, and Abaddon. I love this work the performance is not, or ever will be, outmatched. All three of them, busting out to the limit, the whole way.
@@adamsandler1679 And for decades I believed that. They are still people too. And honestly I don’t listen to this song very often unless I want to take a trip back to 1984. And for myself I’d rather hear this than Scripture-replacing falsehoods coming from some non legitimate Christian music.
I am a christian man, but i must admit, this is a truly masterpiece, indeed no more words for this brutal black metal music. All my respect to satanic bands and satanic people. Besides religion we were all people with feelings and thoughts.
I hope this and a couple other of venoms songs get used in sci fi action flick. Imagine a movie about this album, with the movie centered around the song. Opening credits with Manitou walking in sunburnt hell, with that drumbeat. Then working its way to the climax with a full on battle between heaven and hell with this song playing in the background, but really fucking loud. Id go see it....
I remember hearing this back in the 80's that was the day I knew I was going to hell couldn't be happier SKAL They are the Black metal gods V.E.N.O. fucking M
Supr Bravo 👍👍👍 Black metal a mluvici ďábel Venom !!!! To u žádný kapely nenajdeš poprvé jsem si tu desku koupil v Praze na černé burze v roce 1986 😊 !!!
Hehehe. I was at a catholic school some time before this master piece and one funky morning after the break was over I stormed up the stairs to not be late in class... and bumped into the principal called SISTER ADELGUNDIS... she looked me deep in the eye full of typical catholic hatred... ate my soul... converted me to SATANISM... and scared the shit out of me that females can grow such an ugly moustache... anyways... years later I got hold of this marvel piece of art and started worshipping the devil on a daily base... Today I know that I would have ended in the nearest asylum... if these boys from the north had not taught me how to save my mental sanity. THX³ to CRONOS, MANTAS and ABBADON.

...............CRONOS..........
Godz
Reviews generally, and correctly, described them as utter rubbish, or "a trio of buffoons". This is them trying to do a 2112 sans any kind of chops
Problem was come 84, other bands influenced by venom had come out and sounded better. Kill em all, show no mercy for two.
@@andyventures6574 '83 but I get your saying. Ride and Haunting were the same year as this.
The intro and outro alone could be short movies. Some serious thought went into the wording alone and despite how great this song is, it would be incomplete without the intro/outro
Absolutely!
Absolutely brilliant. Remember when it first came out. Then Black metal album. Totally awesome.
Black metal was before At war.
Found this on a cassette in Spain while on holidays there. I musta been 14 years old. 30 years later it still is a monument of metal .
I love this track so dark, theatrical and the galloping guitar. The menicing bass and the thundering drums. Love you Venom 👍🤘
The riffs!!!!!!! Oh man this song is ripe with amazing sounding guitar and bass leads and rhythms....
Why hello there
JRaptor77 Jacob.....
😈666 hell 666😈
amazing guitar and bass effects, gives it total flavor, and yes, the bass leads stand out, this is almost the Rush [band] of serious metal.
That fuckin' bass riff that opens the song!!!!!!
The dark silhouette of the creature
Poised, crouched on the corner of a cliffs edge
Waits eagerly, eyes glare patiently
Red eyes filled with fire and torment
Gleam in the frenzied brightness
Across the shadowed valleys below
A crack of thunder breaks the deafening silence
Which once ruled the planes, the creature is unmoved
By the commotion and the noise, and the blinding fork
Of lightening which strikes only a few yards from where
Lays it wait for something...
Satan laughs, wings spread to magnificent fullness
The creature stands at full glory, inhaling deeply
The ice cold air each tender muscle rippling in
The almighty stench of the great dimensional deity...
Lucifer smiles, from the far far west a chariot of fire
Emerges travelling at a tremendous speed toward the
Creature. The creature laughs as if in an immense
State of frenzy. The creature leaps up off the ridge
And hollers with dignity in the now cloudless sky
Its long red hair blowing freely in the wind...
The chariot emerges and with a sharp swift movement
The creature takes the reigns and flies up into the
Night, howling out immortal cries, a prediction of war
At war with Satan!
You tell 'em, Conrad!
i love the cartoon hand grabbing the Venom logo by the scrote. Reminding us not to take all this too seriously lol
7:56 "f** the bastards!" 😂😂😂
Endless nights of walking home after work,but my trusty walkman,my venom tape,and my bottle kept me happy.❤ 🤘
The intro has to be one of the best intros in metal history
The first few times I heard this, I was tripping, highly recommended, beyond awesome. Still brilliant after all these years
@AlJa-rb5hj me too! Totally ripped on a massive amount of shrooms!
For a three man band they sure make a lot of noise. Love that shit
Venom at its finest! Best song IMO
Absolutely
Best concept album ever!

One of my favourite tracks. This track has movie potential. With my imagination l can see it all unfolding. " The creature on the cliffs edge."
Masterpiece thats what Metal was in the 80s. Best decade ever
First loved this in the 80's and that intro STILL raises the hairs on my arms!
I have the body mass of a grasshopper but I felt so strong at the time when I was listening to this ! at WAAAAAARRRRRR
This is a unique piece of total metal artwork, this was so unappreciated and underrated at his time . Venom is Metal God . Hail Venom !
Seen them with Slayer in Toronto nineteen eighty whenever the fuck that was . Massive show . I love you Colin O'Shea.
