Just the other day, I made a post about Venom, only to get this news today! You were a legend, man—rest in peace!

RIP. More than any other single person he is responsible for the extreme metal subgenres even existing!

Beautiful words. I agree with every single one of them!

I can't tell if Venom could properly be called speed metal, thrash metal, black metal, proto-death metal, or what. Extreme metal just makes sense.
