Vio-lence
Arguably best known as a former band of Robb Flynn, Vio-lence was
one of the mainstays of the SF Bay Area thrash fraternity of the
late eighties, with a consistent style in the
Exodus or
Forbidden mold.
The band broke up shortly after the release of their fourth album
(1993's
Nothing To Gain),
with Flynn emerging in the very successful
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.
In April 2003 the band's second guitarist, Phil Demmel,
joined Flynn in Machine Head
as a fulltime member after previously serving there as a
temporary guitarist.
Finally, 2006 saw the release of the
Blood And Dirt DVD,
after which Demmel said there were no plans for any more releases or
reunions.
