Venom is a Black metal and Heavy metal act. Their sound grew out of Motörhead, Judas Priest, Ozzy Osbourne, Black Sabbath and Sex Pistols.

They run in the same orbit as Bathory, Hellhammer, Sodom, Possessed and Destruction, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Kerry King, Superjoint Ritual, Samael, Metallica and Destruction, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation.
