In March 2022 Vio-lence released a new EP Let The World Burn by Metal Blade Records. The five song collection is the band‘s first original release since 1993’s  Nothing To Gain, which was recorded at Trident Studios in Pacheco, California by Juan Urteaga, mixed by Tue Madsen and mastered by Ted Jensen.

Formed in 1985, Vio-lence helped define and refine what came to be known as the Bay Area sound by dropping three seminal albums before splitting in 1993. Leaving behind a heady legacy, the band reformed briefly a couple of times in the past years before becoming a full time going concern once more in 2019. After playing a string of successful shows, the quintet started to think about new music and delivered “Let The World Burn,” which showcased the band’s first new material in 29 years.
