Default Is There a Ramones of Metal?

And by that I mean a metal band or even just album that strips metal down to its most necessary and important components in a way that that defines what metal is in a way that the Ramones stripped down rock and roll and defined what rock and roll is in its most pure form?

Venom kinda did but I think they weren't a good enough band to realize this idea. They were a band who exemplified the idea of the Ramones without being good enough to exemplify the promise of the Ramones. I think if metal had a Ramones it would be in Norwegian black metal, but unfortunately I'm not really a fan of Darkthrone or Mayhem to appreciate if they qualify. The only album by these bands to connect with me in a real way is Mayhem's Live in Leipzig and it is in fact the one metal album I can think of that would qualify as "metal's Ramones album".

What say ye?
