Vio-lence was an American thrash metal band formed 1985 in San Francisco, that released a few demo tapes, one EP and 3 LPs between 1985 and 1993.
After establishing a secure line-up with Phil Demmel and Robb Flynn on guitars, Dean Dell on bass, Perry Strickland on drums and Sean Killian on vocals, they released a demo tape on Mechanic Records in 1986.
Soon after releasing their demo tape they entered the studio to record their debut album, called Eternal Nightmare, a seven track album released in 1988. Eternal Nightmare suffered in lack of promotion despite being well accepted by the thrash audience, and critics.
Together with the band Forbidden, they were labelled the new promises of Bay Area thrash and in 1989 they struck a deal with Megaforce Records to release their second album, titled Oppressing The Masses. Around that time, Perry Strickland substituted Tom Hunting of Exodus, yet only for a few shows, denying the possibility of staying permanently.
Finally in 1990, Oppressing The Masses (with legendary producer Alex Periales) was launched on Megaforce Records with better distribution and marketing than their debut, Eternal Nightmare. A video for the song “World in a World” has also been filmed.

Well, play Vio-lence to someone and then play Machine Head. I reckon they would find Machine Head heavier. My point was I doubt "Eternal Nightmare causes Machine Head fans to piss their beds in terror". why this is faster heavyer and more only thing is the vocals but these days it doesnt bother me i did but not anymore i think vocals are pretyy good actualy

Old school metal is way more heavier than the mallcore crap.

yeah because sadly we live in an era of metal where whiny fake screaming and going dun dun dun on your lowest lowered string is considered heavy.
