Violence - Nothing To Gain (1993)


More wreckage from San Francisco's finest thrashers, this record was unfortunately their last. It's more of the same to some extent but the band sound punchier, at times more complex, even inserting a few acoustic pieces in, interwoven the already brutal sound with varying intricacies. It's just a great experience lending an ear to this kind of thrash assault, the band just going full steam ahead through 'Ageless Eyes', 'Pain Of pleasure/Virtues Of Vice' and 'No Chains'. Chugging riffs, great speed but also more space for the tracks to breathe. Shame the band faded away because they remain one of the best.


7.5/10
