Formed in the Bay Area in 1985,Oakland thrashers VIO-LENCE helped define and refine what came to be known as the Bay Area sound.
They instilled themselves as groundbreakers of the second wave of thrash with their revered 1988 debut album “Eternal Nightmare”. Throughout ’88 and ’89,
VIO-LENCE toured the album to great success alongside thrash comrades like Testament, Voivod, Death Angel, Sanctuary, Nuclear Assault, D.R.I., M.O.D. and the Cro-Mags.
In ’89, Megaforce Records/Atlantic signed the band, leading to the release of the bands’ second album “Oppressing the Ma
