Formed as Death Penalty back in '85, Violence are one of my favourite thrash acts. No thrills fury, simple as that. 'Eternal Nightmare' was the brutal debut, 'Oppressing...' more of the same issues with society, the band providing a crunch but an altogether more frenetic groove than your average Bay Area thrash act. Just loving Killian's angry vocal outbursts and the machinery roar of the riffs. 'Officer Nice' and the anthemic 'World In A World' being standout cuts, carving the flesh deep with the angry thrash. Classy band who just couldn't hit the big time, possibly because their sound was just too raw for the masses!
7.5/10
