Welcome to Hell is the 1981 debut album by the British heavy metal band Venom. The sound of the album was very noisy and rough, perhaps in part
because the band thought they were recording a demo when they recorded the album over a period of only three days. Geoff Barton stated in his 1981 five-star review of "Welcome to Hell" that the album had "the hi- fi dynamics of a 50- year old pizza" and that it "brought a new meaning to the word
"cataclysmic"". It should be noted, however, that those comments compared "Welcome to Hell" to other heavy metal from the early eighties.
While the term "black metal" may have not been created until Venom's second album, it can be noted that "Welcome to Hell" contains common speed
metal elements, and that it has a decidedly darker and doomed feel, a characteristic of black metal.
