This week on the Loaded Radio Podcast we are joined by singer Sean Killian from Bay Area thrash metal veterans VIO-LENCE. VIO-LENCE have returned with "Let The World Burn", their upcoming EP of new music which is also their first original release since 1993's "Nothing To Gain". The five-song collection will be available worldwide on March 4 via Metal Blade Records. Filling out the band's ranks on "Let The World Burn" alongside Killian and guitarist Phil Demmel are original drummer Perry Strickland, former OVERKILL guitarist Bobby Gustafson and former FEAR FACTORY bassist Christian Olde Wolbers. "Let The World Burn" was recorded with Juan Urteaga at Trident Studios (TESTAMENT, MACHINE HEAD, EXODUS), with mixing handled by Tue Madsen (THE HAUNTED, MESHUGGAH) and Grammy Award-winning engineer Ted Jensen (ALICE IN CHAINS, DEFTONES, PANTERA). In the interview, Sean discusses what led to the band's return, former members of the group, being a part of the Bay area thrash scene and much more. And as always in the second half of the show we connect with Loaded Radio's Johnny Rude live from Las Vegas, Nevada to discuss the week in hard rock and heavy metal.

After a great intro, the nasty speed kicks in at the 40 second mark with no frills, before the controversial Sean Killian’s vocals rip in. He can’t sing, but it does it fast and with hardcore-esque panache, so it works for the approach and grows on you. Shout out to Dean Dell’s killer bass, which rivals D.D. Verni here.

It was pretty cool to have had the opportunity to speak with three members of one of my favorite metal bands. I started with the singer, Sean Killian, then guitarist Phil Demmel and now... my guest on Episode 180 of The Brooklyn Blast Furnace is the drummer for "Vio-Lence", Perry Strickland! Such a fun guy to chop it up with. We speak about some of the crazy but absolutely fun things he did with the other members of the band when they were kids that, nowadays would be frowned upon. The history of the band, record labels, the records, and especially the long awaited upcoming "Vio-Lence" EP that will be released on "Metal Blade Records". It was truly a lot of fun to bullshit with him. I hope you enjoy this one. "Vio-Lence" Rules.
This was one our personal bucket list interviews, and was an extreme honor to do! We are all huge Vio-Lence fans, and grew up jamming hard to them . We hope you enjoy the interview, so grab a beer sit back and enjoy! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/metalbeerand-bs/message
The third in a series of podcasts during the Coronavirus pandemic. "The Isolation Sessions". Ladies and Gentlemen... the singer for the legendary Bay Area Thrash band "Vio-Lence"... Sean Killian is my guest! The raw Skype video is uploaded to the Brooklyn Blast Furnace YouTube page as well. This was bucket list for me, as you will hear in the beginning of this episode. Definitely one of my favorite meal bands and my favorite overall from the Bay Area. We talk about this Coronavirus debacle, the history of the band, stories about recording some of the past records and their new deal with Metal Blade Records. There's new music on the horizon which includes the newest member, Bobby Gustafson, formerly of Overkill. My inner 15 year old self was having a fanboy moment throughout this episode. Thank you Sean! I hope you enjoy this one. Stay safe and hose yourselves off people. Respect. We close this episode with "Calling in the Coroner" from their first full length record "Eternal Nightmare" and "I Profit" from their sophomore record "Oppressing the Masses".
