Vio-Lence has announced their new EP Let the World Burn to be released in early 2022. The new EP was recorded with Juan Urteaga (Exodus, Machine Head, Testament), mixed by Tue Madsen (Meshuggah, The Black Dahlia Murder), and is the band's first new material since their full-length album Nothing To Gain in 1993.
"Life is meant to be lived and during that one life you have an opportunity to truly create memories for yourself and people who share the same time on this planet as you do," said vocalist Sean Killian. "For 33 years, a creation called Eternal Nightmare has been making memories for people around the world. Now, it is time to create some new memories in 2021, and Vio-Lence has now done that for me, and I'm hoping for you too.
"This resurrection was started in 2019 with a simple text that stated, 'Let's do a show'. At that moment, these 5 original songs began. I am very proud of the new music we created, and we are fortunate to have worked with some very creative people. Juan Urteaga, who was able to push the band to the edge of insanity to capture the intensity we as a band have always brought to people through our music and our live performances.
"Tue Madsen put a special touch on our unique mania and brought raw perfection to our sound. Nothing too polished here, unless fragments of glass and broken razor blades are what you consider polished. I love to create, and we hope your heads explode when you hear the new Vio-Lence. Thanks to everyone involved, and especially Metal Blade Records, for giving Vio-Lence the opportunity to blow your minds."
