Welcome to Hell was a big influence on future thrash bands. Later that year they released their full-length debut, Welcome to Hell.

Venom's professional recording debut was the 1981 single In League with Satan / Live Like an Angel, which was released by Neat Records. Archer then left the band, and Venom's line-up became a trio.
Soon after, six more tracks were recorded for just £50, with Lant taking vocal duties on the song "Live Like an Angel".

In April 1980, Lant was able to persuade the label to give him some free studio time and the band recorded a three-song demo. Dunn and Lant redefined together these songs with a mutual collaboration and then, after a few weeks, Lant recorded a rehearsal session on a basic cassette recorder which he played for the label he worked for, although as the band rehearsed in an old church hall the sound was not good. Lant had yet composed songs like "Sons of Satan", "Bloodlust" and "Welcome to Hell", while Dunn had yet composed songs like "Angel Dust", "Red Light Fever", "Buried Alive", "Raise the Dead" and "Live Like an Angel, Die Like a Devil". In late 1979 Lant introduced the band to his original song ideas as he did not want to keep playing the same cover songs, and with Dunn he began writing new songs for the band. However, such references were mostly for shock value. Since the beginning of their career, Venom have often used " Satanic" lyrics and imagery. Other musicians that have influenced Venom are Deep Purple, the Who, the Tubes, Van Halen, the Rolling Stones, and Elvis Presley. Prime influences of to Venom band were Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Motörhead, the Sex Pistols and Kiss. Archer became "Jesus Christ", Lant "Cronos", Bray " Abbadon", and Dunn " Mantas". The band members took on new stage names. Lant later switched to bass after the departure of Winston. In late 1979, Conrad Lant replaced Rutherford. Later, Hewitt was replaced by Alan Winston on bass. Blackman and Mercater were later also replaced by drummer Anthony Bray and vocalist Clive Archer. The original Guillotine featured Jeffrey Dunn and Dave Rutherford on guitars, Dean Hewitt on bass guitar, Dave Blackman on vocals, and Chris Mercater on drums who replaced Paul Burke, the original drummer when the band was founded. Venom's original personnel came from three different bands: Guillotine, Oberon and Dwarfstar.
