Vio-lence
Vio-lence was one of the mainstays of the SF Bay Area thrash
fraternity of the late 80's, with a consistent style in the
Exodus or
Forbidden mold.
By 1993 the band was done, and guitarist Robb Flynn forming
Machine Head a year later.
The band reunited in late 2001, initially planning only a few shows
as part of the tribute to
Testament's
Chuck Billy, but things went better than expected and the band decided
to reunite, with the classic lineup save guitarist Troy Fua replacing Flynn
(ironically, it was Flynn who replaced Fua in an earlier incarnation of the
band).
That version lasted a copule of years before folding, and guitarist
Phil Demmel soon joined Flynn in Machine Head.
After a 2006 DVD release, Demmel announced that they were truly done,
which lasted until 2018, when he and vocalist Sean Killian brought
new members into the fold.
