Vio-Lence Eternal Nightmare

Eternal Nightmare (1988)

[@nadernatsheh9857]

only true thrashers love Vio-lence !!!

[@lilyrose8062]

Riff upon riff upon riff. There is no let up. This has so much weight, it is amazing, one of the best thrash tracks

[@BobPimentel73]

The opening minute of this song is sheer thrash metal brilliance.

[@nuclearswordofdamocles2902]

This Bass sounds so great.

[@zptbass5162]

Never such a direct bass sound made a thrash record badass. I think Demmel/Flynn guitar tones on that record are equal to Scott Ian rhythm tone on Spreading The Disease. Eternal Nightmare is such a well raw produced recorded for a debut album. It's also the same producer for 80s Satriani records.

[@aaronkuruppassery3947]

This song is relentless attack. Just when you think it's going to end it throws in another surprise.

[@aaronkuruppassery3947]

Vio-Lence - The band that offers the most metal per second for each song.

[@alfredoca687]

Absolutely, this motherfuckers never stop

[@salazar.slytherin6400]

[@Squirrelpornfetish]

I got the lyrics right here: Now, this is the story all about how My life got flipped-turned upside down And I'd like to take a minute Just sit right there I'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel Air . . . ;)

[@XTC-Magic]

I just got Bel Air rolled

[@Wilder_TheWolf]

@@XTC-Magic Lol me too. I first thought he was speaking about the history behind the lyrics.

[@viscountrainbows2857]

Oh fuck you. And you have a Pulitzer Prize in the mail.

[@HardcoreThrashed]

For those speaking of the singer in this.. He had his own style and a unique one in thrash metal...with clear influences from hardcore punk

[@mmmitsdesean]

Sickest album art for the time. Most under rated band in the 80s next to Atrophy and Morbid Saint. Sucks that all three of those bands will never tour again.

[@sargentd6780]

9 years later. Violence back together and morbid Saint (minus the pat lind.) and idk who atrophy is

[@Thijscube]

@@sargentd6780 you should check out their album Socialized hate if you havent already. great songs

[@hieioni3354]

@@Thijscube Violent By Nature is a better album to check out, in my opinion.

[@peggs1]

OUTSTANDING thrash album. Very cleverly pieced together with killer twin guitar riffs. Timeless.

[@familyguyisfunnyyes]

One of the greatest thrash songs of all time

[@ShadowSamba]

Sean Killian is a weird vocalist... at first i hated his vocals, then it grew on me i started to like it, now i absolutely love it.

[@chrisfalk9762]

same with Bobby Blitz from Overkill!

Don't forget King Diamond and Tom G. Warrior

Lyrics: \m/ Eternal Nightmare Reality slipping and your mind is caving in Submitting to the web that you constantly spin It’s over the edge with the straightjacket on It’s dragging you down to the world you belong The hell in your mind that you will always see A nightmare of terror, planted eternally Dead space in your head, there can be no escape Reality you see, an image, just a fake Insomnia drives, drives you out of your head Don’t lose consciousness while lying in bed Looking in from the outside and tightening your grip Death sickening laughter that’s beginning to rip Your eyelids fall and they take you again Eternal nightmare and your horror begins Your head is filled with nothing but fear It has you locked down, comatose is here I’ve drank the blood that dead souls have cried I cursed the devil then watched him die I’m the one that the sinners seek Well I’m your master, now don’t you see I’ve drank the blood that dead souls have cried I cursed the devil then watched him die I’m the one that the sinners seek Well I’m your master, now don’t you see Now to you I come, a calling Reaching for your mind I’m drawing Thoughts of freedom, see them crawling Eternal nightmare, I’m clawing So next time that you fall asleep And let your thought start running deep Remember you’re the ones I choose Eternal nightmare, I never lose Calling You come a calling My laughter’s mauling Eternally I rule your mind Constricting Your thoughts constricting Your mind is sickening And they’re the ones I loved to feed on the most of all!

[@metalzep786]

Definitely one of the best album covers in metal!

[@blazekaizer9000]

I always come back after hearing for so many years, so many thrash albums, this one is truly memorable

[@bioactivevirus]

I never hated the vocals. This band has always been, and always will be awesome, and thrash as hell.

[@uofksteel]

One of the best album cover's ever! And the album itself is one of the best!

[@rutbuck121]

sean killian's vocals always teet'erd the band. either you like his vox, or you didnt. but i will say this, the metalheads like me who did love sean killian, saw him as one of the most savage frontmen ever in the history of metal. those who grew up with vio-lence will tell you the same. there's no other vocalist who could pull off what seasn killian did. NO ONE! sean killian was pure vio-lence! read his lyric's, sadistic, genius!. took you on a journey through the darkest place of ur brain.

[@EverxOpeningxFlower]

One of the best thrash metal albums of all time!!!!

[@dennisthemenace5466]

I was in 11th grade in 1988 when this came out, man was it great to smoke a doobie under the bridge next to the high school cranking this on the boom box

[@metallicafan416]

fuck yeah I was a freshman doing the same thing

[@PIKL_Creep]

you guys were druggies as kids?

[@matthijsjansen5838]

You are so lucky , when I was in high school all the other kids were into grunge rap or techno I had to listen to thrash on my own .

[@jasonsabourin9547]

@@matthijsjansen5838 might have grown up during that time, but not many people were listening to this, even the "hardcore" kids those years 85--90 were A strange tough transition period, very thin.

[@user-wc2yn6wm7u]

The first time I saw this band live they caused one of the most intense mosh pits I had ever experienced in my life. It was brutal....

[@omarrodriguez4237]

I dont understand the hate on the vocals. They caught me by surprise the first time but I never once thought they were bad.

[@comicndn5169]

This was an instant classic in 1988 and it's still classic.

[@farhatik]

I first listened the cover of Lich King, which I like a lot, but haven't given much thoughts about its origins. Now, after listening the original, I'm fascinated of how this song was ahead of its time and so underrated.

[@poyoawebo21]

am i the only one who loves the bass?

[@metalwarlock73]

This reminds me of the good ole days back when I was 15 years old

[@ceross1]

me dolían las manos cuando empece a tocar este tema, great song

[@elterreneitormendivil9001]

eso esta cabron oiga.

[@jasongill8861]

I don't see the problem with the vocals. It IS 80's thrash and his voice and style has kind of a Joey Belladonna quality to it

[@joseolmeda2936]

Was about to say that myself!!

[@playerhateroftheyear1084]

Sounds more akin to Jello Biafra. Very punk and uncaring. It has a raw and thrash sound i love it

[@joppejohn]

i love the vocals its so over the top!

[@ThommyofThenn]

Hated the vocals at first but a year later I like them a lot more. The riffs are just too good even if the vocals aren't excellent it's still one of the best late 80's thrash albums

[@norbitcleaverhook5040]

Exactly. Once you're a fan you don't give a fuck, in fact you start enjoying the craziness of it.

[@KevinStreet510]

Sean Killiian had a very original sounding voice like no other. I remember hearing this in 88 or 89 and always remembered how distinctive the vocals were. Great record front to back.

[@jasonsabourin9547]

Well said.

[@Mossberg930]

This is awesome stuff. I wish this band had been around longer and made more music.

[@rodturner6759]

They have 2 other albums and an E.P., new E.P. early next year.

Am i the only one who doesn't mind the vocals on this?

[@videofreak58]

no

[@CelestialWoodway]

Yes

[@leifspace]

Vocals are great in my opinion. Every aspect of the music is great. The guitars are great, bass sounds nice and the drummer is amazing. I've always loved the vocals. Eternal nightmare is a classic album, but very underrated and overlooked.

[@S.M.Jean-Mahmoud_Ier]

leifspace Nope, these vocals suck and with such a voice you deserve to sort cardboards in the nearest Target store, not to be given the chance to sing. The lyrics aren't bad, but singing with such a voice should be forbidden and punishable by law.

[@jessefriest5302]

Reminds me of Joey beladona

[@jordp1987]

Listening to Evil Invaders reminded me of this band. I love both

[@neroma]

2:36 - that riff

[@silovitipanj4958]

His vocals remind me of 80s hardcore/skate punk except they're WAY more psychotic

[@frankresendez1928]

Voivod that was the intention , it’s when punk crossed over to thrash, hardcore

[@malengine_music]

Considering that Sean is a huge fan of old school punk (when punk was *actual* punk) it's no surprise that you see a parallel there. 😎

[@magnified111]

Saw these guys in a TEENY club in Northern Ca. back in '88-'89 opening for Death Angel (Overkill was set to be there, but opted out since they were not headlining.) Had never heard 'em at the time, I took a spot at the side of the stage 5 feet away from the drummer- never,NEVER have I seen drumming like his. He kept looking over at me and grinning crazily. All the band came out after their set and hung out with the fans the rest of the show. Death Angel played UltraViolence 3 TIMES!

[@cesarcano1844]
