What I heard did. I'm quite prepared to listen to them again if that's not the case. But you know what I mean: dark, growly, unintelligible, I'm-comin-to-kill-ya-with-a-bloody-axe vocals....

Sure they were a bad joke, but that's what's so great about them. They can't play, but the sheer energy hidden behind the wall of noise just stirs the blood. The lyrics are puerile and ridiculous, but that's why they're so much fun. The production is awful, but it's part of what gives their music such a dark feel. Venom may suck, but man do they suck good.

Yeah but I don't listen to band for novelty or comedy value. Like I said, I need melody in my music. I can appreciate their appeal, and their place in metal myth, as you'll see if you check the feature I did on them for "Maidens, Monsters, Witches and Bitches" (or is it the other way round?) for my journal...
