I won´t lie to you, I first heard of Vio-lence when first Machine Head legendary album Burn My Eyes came out and there was an article in Metal Hammer and a picture of young Rob Flynn who used to play guitar in Vio-lence prior to MH days. Then I listened and immediately loved the three albums of these San Francisco thrash metal legends. Now, the band is reformed again and released new music after more than two decades first with cover of Dead Kennedys classic California Uber Alles, then with this whole new e.p. which contains five songs. Through these songs, Vio-lence managed to release strong statement with strong mixture of old and new blood in the line-up consisting of whole extreme music scene veterans unit, capable of doing great things in their all out thrash metal assault. Angry vocals, courtesy of Sean Killian, great and fast songs with groove parts, blistering solos, double bass drum sonic charge and lyrics that deal with anger, death, society and its diseases is more than contemporary today, yet bringing a breeze of old school metal winds to the new millennia. Welcome back we have been missing you.
