Thrash Extravaganza #2 - VIO-LENCE: Eternal Nightmare

Bay Area thrash metal champions, Vio-Lence may have been latecomers to the scene, but they quickly made up for lost time with their scathing debut, “Eternal Nightmare.” Guitarist duo Phil Demmel and Robb Flynn (pre-Machinehead) unleash a cavalcade of aggressive riffs throughout, but the title track is extra special. After a great intro, the nasty speed kicks in at the 40 second mark with no frills, before the controversial Sean Killian’s vocals rip in. He can’t sing, but it does it fast and with hardcore-esque panache, so it works for the approach and grows on you. Shout out to Dean Dell’s killer bass, which rivals D.D. Verni here.
