vio-lence - world in a world

[@markcrosby8437]

Hands down one of the most under rated thrash bands from the 80"s

[@metallicafan416]

I agree

[@szatson]

Vio-lence is my all time favorite speed metal band, hands down! Growing up in speed metal band, and being a drummer, I never understand why more wasnt publizied about Perry Stricklands hand speed. His single stroke rolls are blazing and he flips the beat often and is comfortably playing inverted. Sean Killian is often critized, but IMO is amazing. A true vocal genius, his phrazing, vocal "solos" and timing the best ive ever heard. And no one can deny the gtr section, they straight up shred!!

[@Wargasm644]

Saw these dudes in the 80's. Completely blown away. A buddy of mine dragged me to the show. Think it was east Bay. Saw possessed, suicidal, dark angel that same year, so the bar was pretty high for a band I'd never heard of. They didn't disappoint. A lot of people trip on the singer. I happen to think it helps distinguish this band. Brilliant.

[@Grumpy_Trucker]

I’m a huge thrash/death metal fan. Have been since around 1986. This is, without doubt, my all time favourite metal song. Never get bored of it. Phil and Rob on guitar is immense and awesome drumming

[@SantanaLily]

For the past 3 years, I have watched this music video every now and again. EVERY TIME I come to this specific upload, I forget it is the censored version. Whenever I hear the "beep" noise I always go, "What the fuck?!...Damn it...every time!!" Badass video by a badass band, though! Looks like paradise!!

[@aachiofalo]

I'm in the pit in this video. It was filmed in SF at The Stone. Awesome fucking band...

[@SUBXERO1961]

my band slambodians got to open

[@SkorpDood]

@@SUBXERO1961 if I remember right I saw you guys at the Stone with Suicidal Tendencies in maybe 89.

[@DomIstKrieg]

The riff at 2:00 is immense. So simple yet brutal.

[@MichaelM-qp7zv]

Always the criticism with Vio-lence's vocals whether they're not harsh enough or sounds like a punk vocalist...etc. Keep in mind what era this was, I think the vocals are the definition of 80's sound. It's when metal and punk sort of started giving off on each other after years of rivalry and finally some mutual respect. Without that happening we wouldn't know thrash as it is today or at all.

[@metalthrashinmadman9634]

That's the best comment I've seen on here

[@cameronpeterson6734]

The vocals sounds a bit like Anthrax to me

[@zegonzales1]

+Michael M I think the vocals are pretty annoying sometimes , but acceptable . yes, sometimes sounds a little punkish , not that I care ...

[@dasein9980]

@@zegonzales1 Sean Killian owns your balls.

[@randylahey7317]

Sean Killian is an acquired taste. When you give Vio-lence a few listens it all makes sense. Nonetheless he is without a doubt one of the most unique vocalists in thrash metal.

[@uglijimus]

this song was my introduction to vio-lence and made me a life-long fan!

[@eddierodriguez1212]

I was at this show.my friend lost a tooth . that head cam was high tech shit that dude got thrashed in the pit

[@Infidel1976]

Nice

[@asian8beauty]

I was at this show on Sep 3 1989 at The Stone in San Fran. They let everyone go nuts for 2 to 3 songs while they recorded for the video. I'm in this video at 4:00. You can see my big head on the left of the screen looking into the head cam. Thanks for the memories.

[@kimlee6269]

vio lence were the best, their live shows were monsters, their fans are still fans to this day, the vocals, the riffs the anger all unmatched

[@GrampaDenny74]

A young Rob Flynn kickin ass just as he does now, awesome guitarist and Machinehead frontman!!

[@ewfox1399]

Ah, the memories. I too have great memories from The Stone. I had the privilege of hanging with the Laaz Rockit boys. And they showed me a world he had never seen before! Aside from all the Laaz stuff, one of my favorite memories is meeting and chatting w/ Lars & Jason at a Flotsam / King Diamond gig.

[@flipDarkslideflip]

I love this song!! Vio-Lence were immense! Perry is one of the best and under-appreciated drmmers in all thrash. Robb's bangs always make me laugh when I see these vids.

[@celticfrost86]

awesome vocalist men, one of the best.

[@alidemir9897]

Phil Demmel and Robb Flynn right?!

[@charlesscharfen6995]

vio-lence excretes on machinehead

[@jeremyslaney5644]

Fucking bollocks.Both bands are excellent bands in their own right

[@mongrul68]

I was lucky to be there the night they filmed this, and to my surprise, I'm in 2 shots in the beginning. What a fucking awesome night, never to be forgotten!

[@alex-hi2gv]

Great Sean Killian!

[@gigi5gt]

le manate quando ascolto certe canzoni. GRAZIE VIO-LENCE!!!!

[@dawnofpossesion]

20 years later still the best video ever!!!

[@hemstreet2006]

Was at the recording of the live video. The Stone in San Francisco. Long live the stone!!!!!!

[@82ndPhunkyPhotos]

I saw 'em at the 9:30 club in D.C. way-back-when. Killer band! I was the first one off the stage. Great pit that night too. Think I lost at least 10 lbs.

[@robertogallingani2000]

Killer song!

[@mifo2069]

the best song from a wonderfull album THRASH TIL DEATH

[@hopscotch2811]

the most metal turtleneck ever

[@Williameagleblanket]

Saw the Eternal Nightmare tour August 12, 1988 in San Diego, CA with Death Angel, Testament. Vio- lence was pretty good.

[@MasterTomster]

golden 90's! great vid on that time, I saw them at Headbangers ball on MTV

[@moise1422]

Lo mejor Vio-Lence!!!

[@Malfarius]

Opressing the mases album, joder y pensar que despues de sus cenizas vendrian Machine Head.. tremendo

[@Mike4metal]

Gotta go to Sean's benefit show in SF Jan 20th, show love and support for one of the best metal vocalists the Bay Area ever produced!! 🤘🤘❤️❤️

[@richardtooley1795]

AWESOME - I am 44 yo, I remember seeing them live, It took 24 hours in travel :) from Australia

[@crushingalldeceivers]

Still great and sends shivers down the spine... but I must confess it's been just over 20 years and i'm still confused about the turtleneck.

[@Savooj]

Man man man, wat een rifs! Niet normaal! Alleen spijtig van de zang altijd bij die trash groepen. Geen ene die wat deftig kan zingen. Eigenlijk, waarom Rob hier eens niet laten over zingen :-)

[@chuax77]

Clasico total del Thrash de la vieja escuela!!!!

[@juanpijudo8370]

Nelson Oyarzun de lo mejor junto a death angel lo mas speed de mediados los 90.

[@JozeMetal]

+Nelson Oyarzun kheeeee???? si la escuela del thrash fue en los 80 muchacho irreverente :v

[@chuax77]

JozeMetal Asi???? y este video de que epoca es pedazo de jeropa????

[@sergiomarquez5071]

Nelson Oyarzun de mediados del 88, aver si ya te pones a leer pendejo. :v

[@usuariomediocre5457]

xdddd

[@jash4507]

i got this on tape when i was in the seventh grade, i still have it! I'm 34 now and this shit still kills most of the crap out today. hell they even have a break down in this song.

[@xohmyheadx]

Thanks for this!!

@disturbedspike i totally Agree. Him and Paul Balof were two of my all time Faves of the thrash scene.

[@speedhead]

this vid looks like a thrash paradise!

[@josemontesvelez9366]

Los riffs de Vio_lence te enganchaban

[@THRASHFKINFILLETS]

@disturbedspike I think he's vocals were sort of hardcore punk and they suited Vio-lence's brand of thrash just fine

[@DomIstKrieg]

fucking love that last riff. Love it.

[@HarvesterOfEyes91]

@disturbedspike I fucking LOVE his vocals!!!!!!!!! coolest sounding vocals ever!!

[@TECHNOID69]

lol.. i remember buyin one because of him. and the long coat.. good times:))

[@BenRachmian]

Best Band ever! I can't believe i'll soon get Eternal Nightamre!

[@lubbocktx35]

@THRASHFKINFILLETS yea dude I had the same problem until I saw them live and they really put on a F'n great show, then I listened to The Blackening more and more and now they are one of my favorite bands

[@shitfaced1312]

never knew they had a vid.... fucking awesome!!!!!!

[@diemutha666]

Fucking badass riffs without being overdone \m/

[@jeremyslaney5644]

Why the hell did they have to blank out the F-words

[@AlucardsQuest]

To show on mtv

[@oliveriogioffre]

por dios, q buena cancion!!!

[@cartoondog800]

@malvern666 That's because "Dicks Of Death" is a joke song. It was released as the last song on a very rare E.P. called "Torture Tactics."

[@waylander1978]

I would also include Armoured Saint and Metal Church. They where more melodic than most of the Thrash scene and not as fast but they still wrote some killer tunes and deserve more respect than they get.

[@alexanaya6820]

I dig the vocals, why sound like everyone else, for the most part alot of thrash vocals sounded like this ,Joey belladonna from Anthrax fucken Mike Muir of ST A few TestamenT songs as well sounded like this

[@Mryoungworld2]

wow didnt realize we got similar names and its funny cuz i love rock bt i do hip hop but i promise to reserve the name in a proper way

[@StavrosMarinosMaiden]

What tha fuck???? That s real heavy, fuckin thrash!! My head is gonna break my desk!!

[@szatson]

... And when I say shred it isnt mindless noodling, it is musical, ultra-tight, and has emotion. Im not afillated with the band, i just really love them, grew up with this music, it is in my soul and for anyone that likes this kind of music, check out Enternal nightmare. Vio-lence, and death angel two of my favorite bay area bands. My wish for 2012 is for VIO-LENCE to come back, and you fuckers need to come up to Portland, Or.!

[@SepulTeraHead]

I guess Flynn and Demmel are too invested in Machine Head to even do a original lineup tour with Vio or something. That would be killer, though!

[@LukeG.B.]

@rocknflip66 Evildead,Overkill,Forbidden,Nuclear Assault,Heathen?

[@MapachewithSniper]

machine head is the ratarded vision of rob flynn Vio-Lence is the best Thrash Band lyrical support

[@skilletfan1231]

the drummer is my cousin Perry

+Brian Borrego he's married and has kids

[@brianborrego8563]

i was joking. are they still making music? wheres the band

[@skilletfan1231]

+Brian Borrego they've settled down

[@brianborrego8563]

well fuck

seriously, your Perry Strickland's cousin? that's sweet

Yo dawg i heard you like world, so we put a world in your world so now you can world in a world !

[@seremosinperfectos]

yeah!!!!

[@cdotodot5037]

Sean Killian the Great!!!!

[@slayermanify]

Vio-lence & Evildead are the two REAL & best Thrash bands, Sean Killian vocals are superb, like Death Metal vocals they take some getting used to or you love them straight away like me. Machine Head fans would shit themselves if they knew Demmel & Flynn were in Vio-lence.

[@Mzee1084]

@disturbedspike They are very over the top and in your face so they are pretty much love or hate. I hated them for a long time and couldn't listen to Eternal Nightmare but I got used to them and now it is one of my favorite albums though I still wish the vocals were a bit different.

[@lubbocktx35]
