An original magazine picture / mini‑poster featuring Cronos and Mantas of the legendary Venom, captured in a classic early‑80s live performance shot with leather, studs and full on‑stage intensity. A powerful image from the band’s most influential era, showcasing the raw energy that helped define early extreme metal.
This item has been carefully removed from an early‑2000s back‑issue of a British music magazine and is now rare & hard to find. Would look great framed!

Early‑80s Venom imagery is highly collectible, especially photos featuring Cronos and Mantas together on stage. Their look and sound defined the birth of black metal, making original magazine pictures featuring images from this era increasingly scarce and sought‑after. A superb piece for any Venom fan or collector of vintage heavy‑metal photography.
