17.5x22.5" stiff paper poster for Mar. 20, 1983 concert that took place at Studio 54 in Manhattan. Poster top reads "Metal Invades Manahattan Every Wed At Studio 54." Headlining act was Venom, an English heavy metal band that formed in 1979. Coming to prominence towards the end of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, Venom's first two albums — "Welcome To Hell" and "Black Metal" are considered a major influence on thrash metal and extreme metal. Venom's second album proved influential enough that its title was used as the name of an extreme metal subgenre - black metal. Venom was supported at this concert by Finnish heavy metal band Oz and Slayer, an American thrash metal band formed in 1981 and still in it's infancy. Slayer rose to fame w/their 1986 release, "Reign In Blood," and this album is considered to be the foundation and inspiration of death metal. Poster graphics include two horned devil faces w/flaming pentagrams on their foreheads. NM.
