List of Venom band members

The following is a complete chronology of the various line-ups of British extreme metal band Venom, formed in 1979. The group evolved out of an older group, Guillotine, formed in 1978. No individual has consistently remained with the group throughout its entire career; vocalist and bassist Conrad Lant, a co-founding member, fronts the group today.
