🎸🔥 In a shocking turn of events that absolutely no one saw coming (except everyone with an internet connection), VIO-LENCE has decided they’re not done yelling into microphones and scaring accountants. In a recent interview that was somehow both intense and oddly wholesome, Sean Killian dropped more hints about new music than a thrash metal Ouija board. And yes, there will be punk covers—because nothing says “mature artist” like screaming “fuck off” to a crowd while wearing a bandana. 🤘😆
So, picture this: a group of middle-aged men who once defined Bay Area thrash are now back, recharged, and ready to prove that aging like fine wine doesn’t apply to their stage presence—because that’s still pure battery acid in human form. Killian, the vocal tornado himself, announced that after “years of searching” (read: scrolling through old contacts and begging people who still own guitar cables), they finally have a solid lineup. Enter Ira Black on guitar, who apparently moonlights as a guitar-slinging superhero when not busy being in like five other bands. Also joining the chaos: Jeff Salgado on bass, Nick Souza on drums, and Toby Swope on second guitar—because one wall of sound just isn’t enough when you’re trying to melt faces.
But here’s the real tea: Killian is co-writing with none other than Claudeous Creamer from POSSESSED. Yes, that POSSESSED. The band whose name alone makes grandmas cross themselves. And according to Sean, this collaboration is gonna “expand their sound.” Translation: expect more breakdowns, more shrieking, and possibly a song that summons something from the void. Perfect for family BBQs. 🧀🔪
Now, in a move that surprises absolutely no one who’s ever attended a punk show, Killian revealed the first release will likely be a punk cover. Why? Because back in the day, he was too busy watching FEAR’s Lee Ving tell audiences to “fuck off” to learn how to tie his shoes properly. And GBH? That’s where he got his “aggressive vocal technique” — aka screaming like a raccoon in a blender. So yes, the next VIO-LENCE drop might be a cover of “I Don’t Care About You” or something equally rebellious, complete with a music video that probably features at least one flipped bird. ✊🐦
But wait—there’s more! A “big announcement” is dropping next Wednesday! Is it a world tour? A crossover with a death metal version of ABBA? A reality show where they argue about who gets the last energy drink? We don’t know, but we’re already emotionally preparing for chaos. Also confirmed: a trip to Russia in August, because nothing says “diplomacy” like American thrash bands headbanging in Moscow. St. Petersburg better brace itself—your ballet schools are now adjacent to sonic warfare. 🇷🇺🎸💥
And let’s not forget the drama. Oh, the drama. Phil Demmel, former guitarist and apparent keeper of the VIO-LENCE purity seal, allegedly wanted the band shelved after he left. But Killian, being the rebellious elder statesman he is, said “Hell no,” especially after selling out the Whisky A Go Go. Because nothing fuels metal ego like a packed venue and the sweet smell of patchouli and stale beer. Phil may have wanted to treat VIO-LENCE like a garage project you abandon after high school, but Sean’s out here treating it like a cursed family heirloom that *must* be passed down, no matter how many people it emotionally scars along the way. 👨🎤⚰️
Let’s be real: VIO-LENCE isn’t just making music—they’re making a statement. A middle finger wrapped in distortion, dipped in mosh pit sweat, and launched at the face of complacency. They’ve got new riffs, old grudges, and the energy of five men who definitely don’t get enough sleep. And honestly? We’re here for it. 🤙🎧
So grab your earplugs, dust off your pit stains, and prepare for the return of the band that proves you don’t need youth, sobriety, or good back health to create art that matters. VIO-LENCE is back, and they’re not here to play nice. They’re here to play loud. And possibly sue the mixing board. 🔊🔥😈
