Violence - A Thrash Metal Icon

Violence is an American thrash metal band from California, formed in 1985 by vocalist Hank Patterson and guitarist Ysa Peniche. Known for their intense and aggressive sound, Violence has been a staple of the West Coast thrash scene for decades, releasing several albums throughout their career. Their music often features fast-paced rhythms, shredding guitar solos, and socially conscious lyrics that tackle topics such as politics, inequality, and personal struggle.

Violence's early work, including their 1987 debut album "Eternal Nightmares", showcased the band's raw energy and unbridled aggression. As they progressed, Violence refined their sound, incorporating more complex song structures and exploring different vocal approaches. The result was a unique blend of classic thrash metal and modern hardcore punk influences, which resonated with fans across the globe.

Throughout their career, Violence has shared the stage with notable bands such as Exodus, Slayer, and Testament, solidifying their reputation as one of the most respected and enduring thrash metal acts in the world. With a legacy spanning over three decades, Violence continues to create music that is both a testament to their unyielding passion and an inspiration to fans everywhere.
