That's pretty much what it is. Judas Priest and Motörhead, who also tend to get mentioned in NWOBHM discussions, both predate the NWOBHM movement. Also, neither of them sound very NWOBHM-y to me, at least not Judas Priest. Killing Machine is polished radio metal, and worlds away from what Venom did.
