Vio-Lence Booking Agency Profile

Book Vio-Lence for your next corporate event, function, or private party.
The legendary thrash metal group Vio-lence was founded in the San Francisco Bay Area in 1985. They immediately rose to prominence in the Bay Area thrash scene thanks to their raw, violent sound and exuberant live shows. They released a number of demo tapes, an EP, and three studio albums throughout the course of their career, all of which solidified their position as one of the major figures of the second wave of thrash metal.

Vio-lence had a relatively brief career, yet their impact on the genre cannot be understated. They frequently receive recognition as one of the "Big Six of Bay Area Thrash Metal," along with Exodus, Testament, Death Angel, Lz Rockit, and Forbidden. Phil Demmel and Robb Flynn on guitars, Deen Dell on bass, Perry Strickland on drums, and Sean Killian on vocals made formed their most reliable lineup. All three of their studio albums—the critically acclaimed Eternal Nightmare (1988), Oppressing the Masses (1990), and Nothing to Gain (1993)—were recorded with this line-up.

The band, who split up in 1994, reformed in 2001 and 2003 for sporadic live shows before taking a protracted rest. However, Vio-lence confirmed their reunion and started creating new music in January 2019. Let the World Burn, their first new album in in three decades, was published in March 2022. Phil Demmel, Sean Killian, and bassist Christian Olde Wolbers, who took Deen Dell's place, make up Vio-lence's current line-up.

Overall, Vio-lence continues to be a significant presence in the thrash metal scene, and their influence can still be seen. They continue to be an inspiration to new generations of metal fans and musicians with their distinctive sound and uncompromising approach..

Frequently Asked Questions about booking Vio-Lence to perform.

Many performers, actors, speakers and other talent like Vio-Lence in certain cases will consider virtual appearances via live streaming. They perhaps may accept lower fees too. If you are seriously interested in booking Vio-Lence or other talent shown on our site, we will research their desire and the specific fee for your live-streaming event or project request.
Vio-Lence's current work schedule and location in relation to your event's type, date, budget, and locality will play a primary factor in the acceptance of booking Vio-Lence for your party. As long as your funding is commensurate with the price range to book Vio-Lence, CTI will propose your event to the official agency representing Vio-Lence.

CTI can give you the accurate Vio-Lence booking price once we submit your event details to their camp. "How much does it cost to book Vio-Lence for an event?" is a frequent question we get. The final Vio-Lence booking price is contingent on many variables and the booking fee we may show is based on a range derived from our past experience with what will Vio-Lence charge for an event. An example fee to book Vio-Lence is in the starting range of $15,000-$24,999. However, any recent popularity change would cause a price fluctuation well beyond this example. Also, their speaking fee might be different than the fee shown for the cost to perform or to just appear. Popularity, career stage, along with current demand will cause fluctuations in their speaking price as well. The final booking price may be more than what is shown, but you should at least have a budget within that range for them to consider an appearance, performance or speaking engagement.
CTI negotiates on behalf of professional event planners and talent buyers for paid appearances! We cannot give out direct contact information of the Vio-Lence agent or help distribute fan mail, personal messages, gifts, requests for free appearances, or donations of time. The Vio-Lence manager and agent will only work with us if we present them with funded offers for their client to work your event.
There is low probability to book Vio-Lence for a party with anything substantially less than the published booking cost price range. We will negotiate with the Vio-Lence agent on your behalf if your funding is in place. By not having funding ready then it will more difficult to book Vio-Lence, because they get many offers to work events that are at or above asking price. It is also important to consider the travel costs when researching the Vio-Lence booking fee, as additional expenses like this, as well as an entourage of staff and equipment, are not necessarily built-in to the booking fee range shown. If your budget does not factor that in, then there is no benefit for them to want to be hired. We do not personally speak for Vio-Lence, but in our experience in booking talent for over 25 years, this is generally the outcome of inadequate funding.
