Vio-Lence
Vio-lence formed in the San Francisco Bay Area in 1985 and quickly became a central figure in the second wave of Bay Area thrash, known for their frantic tempos and pit-ready aggression. The band's classic lineup included guitarist Phil Demmel and vocalist Sean Killian, and featured a young Robb Flynn before his departure to form Machine Head. Their debut album Eternal Nightmare (1988) remains a cornerstone of the genre, followed by Oppressing the Masses (1990) before the band's initial dissolution in 1993.
