Warhead [12 Version]
Venom · The Seven Gates Of Hell-Singles 1980-1985 [2002]
Warhead - unite the lightning whore
Power burning - hell and man
Raging torment - take my hand
Frenzied motions - reach your soul
Dance the warhead - fast of slow
Born of thunder
Raised by fire
Call the heavens
By desire
Screaming furnace - death of life
Demons calling - chosen wives
Sabbats charming - out in lust
Chance the warhead - win or bust
Warhead - hear the thunder roar
Warhead - unite the lightning whore
Warhead - engraved on flesh and bone
Warhead - born of mortal stone
Warhead [12 Version]
Venom's 'Warhead [12 Version]' stands as a definitive track from their seminal 1980s output, capturing the raw, aggressive energy that defined the early black metal genre. Released on the compilation 'The Seven Gates Of Hell-Singles 1980-1985', this recording showcases the band's signature sound: a blend of distorted guitars, pounding drums, and the iconic, guttural vocals of Ulver. The track exemplifies the chaotic and visceral atmosphere that would become central to the movement's identity, serving as a powerful sonic representation of the era's underground scene. As a staple of Venom's discography, it remains a critical listen for those exploring the roots of extreme metal and the specific aesthetic of the early 1980s Swedish death metal pioneers.
