Vio-lence was an old school Bay Area thrash metal band formed in 1985, that released few demo tapes, one EP and 3 LPs between 1985 and 1993.
After establishing a secure line-up with Phil Demmel and Robb Flynn on guitars, Dean Dell on bass, Perry Strickland on drums and Sean Killian on vocals, they released a demo tape on Mechanic Records in 1986.
Soon after releasing their demo tape they entered the studio to record their debut album, called Eternal Nightmare, a seven track album released in 1988. Eternal Nightmare suffered in lack of promotion despite being well accepted by the thrash audience, and critics.

I've only heard Eternal Nightmare, but it is a great album.

Been listening to them a bit more recently, I really need to get their other albums.

Phil Demmel and Robb Flynn later worked together on Machine Head (still do) but I dunno, their new stuff doesn't pack the same punch as Vio-lence did... the best MH album was definitely the first, 'Burn My Eyes' and the second was alright, then they turned to stuff that was... ... ... anyway, the Blackening was alright, but still.
Vio-lence was great though... sorry for going all off-topic there...

I was expecting better from a thrash "supergroup" as far as MH is concerned. Turned out to be a flop, in my opinion.

But isn't it Vio-Lence's drummer who died? Sad s**t when that ruins a band.

Yeah, shame they went downhill after moving on to other projects. So many great riffs in Eternal Nightmare. I like Phobophobia and Calling in the Coroner the most.

Sean Killian is one of the best thrash metal front men of all time, in my opinion. 3nodding
