Black Metal Background Biography
source (google.com.pk)VON consisted of three founding members based in San Francisco, California who went by the names Von aka Goat (Vocal/Guitar), Venien (Vocals/Bass), and Vennt aka Snake (Drums).
Originally formed by Von aka Goat (Vocals/Lead Guitar), Venien (Bass/Drums), Mark (Bass), Joe (Guitar/Drums) and later adding Vennt aka Snake (Drums) in 1988. Joe and Mark left the band, but Von, Venien, and Vennt practiced in a warehouse that they all worked at, but then eventually booked studio time downtown, where they created the music you hear on the demos. The names Von, Venien, and Vennt were actually based off their real names and the final formation of VON took shape.
Venien being from San Francisco knew that the Bay Area metal scene was the place for VON in the late 80's and that's where they needed to bring VON. This garage band originally met in Hawaii and had played a handful of shows at clubs, houses, garages, but their last show was at a Hells Angels Gathering on a North Shore beach.
In early 1990 to early 1991, VON moved to San Francisco, and the original members found themselves renting a very small basement studio on Union St and creating the 1st demo "Satanic" recording from a simple mic hanging from the roof pipes of the ceiling. The VON Union St. Studio was the perfect place for the band to be inspired and flesh out the dark raw VON sound and concept fans came to respect. Due to the metal scene being dominated at the time by death and speed metal bands, the band wanted something really not too many people understood. VON was listening to various speed/death/punk bands of the time. That really left lasting impressions on Venien, Vennt, and Von to go in a raw, dark, and fast direction. The real VON had been born but suddenly disband all within a year.
In 91', Venien left the band for personal reasons and Joe aka Kill got on the bass to continue the band, following up with recording the Satanic Blood demo and also played a handful of live shows in the bay area. In addition VON recorded the Blood Angel demo. In 92', Von formed a side project band named Sixx, but shortly after formation, Snake decided to move away from SF. Von and Kill auditioned a couple of drummers but never found the right one and moved in different directions.
The members of VON would like to tell their fans that the history of the band is not to overshadow what was done but to give a clearer picture of the real history and the events that took place surrounding the already confusing background of this black metal band. VON's original members wouldn't have it any other way and feel that this is the right thing to do and hope to see VON live another day.
