Vio-Lence – Megaforce Records to Reissue “Eternal Nightmare” With Live Bonus CD
Megaforce Records have reissued VIO-LENCE’s classic, “Eternal Nightmare”, with a live bonus CD this past Tuesday. San Francisco’s VIO-LENCE was a controversial band and a favorite of metal fans around the world. Noted for their intense live shows, one thing that set the band apart was their cutting lyrics. Most bands’ lyrics usually come from within, but VIO-LENCE took a different approach, using friends and acquaintances for the words. Often, this resulted in lyrics definitely of the tongue-in-cheek kind.
Formed by guitarist Phil Demmel, VIO-LENCE also featured vocalist Sean Killian, guitarist Robb Flynn, bassist Dean Dell, and drummer Perry Strickland. Heavily influenced by other thrash pioneers, the band often chose raw aggression over the more technical style of their peers. Despite VIO-LENCE’s short career, the band’s 1988 debut “Eternal Nightmare” remains their standout album.
Also included will be a bonus disc of live material from their show at Slim’s in San Francisco.
