VIO-LENCE RECRUITS GUITARIST IRA BLACK

FOR UPCOMING 2022 DATES

 

 

Guitarist Ira Black (BulletBoys, Metal Church, I Am Morbid) will be filling in for Vio-Lence guitarist Phil Demmel for 2022 dates including their South American run and winter European tour, kicking off at the Brutal Assault Festival on August 9th in the Czech Republic.

Black who grew up in the Bay Area and played with thrash bands Vicious Rumors, Heathen, and Metal Church got the Vio-Lence call by Phil in early 2022.

“Vio-Lence is a legendary Bay Area thrash band and I’ve known them for many years. I’ve had a great time learning Phil’s parts, rehearsals are going great, these guys are the real deal! I’m looking forward to slaying it for the Vio-Lence fans around the world. See you out there,” says Black.

 

 

“Vio-Lence is a state of mind more than it is a band. It’s an attitude that never asks for forgiveness or to be accepted. Many musicians have represented those principles on stage as Vio-Lence and today is no different. We would like to announce that in place of the Great Philip Demmel we will be joined by a man who has shared the stage with musical legends. Today Vio-Lence is announcing that another attitude will be joining us. We would like all the Vio-Lence lovers and haters to welcome Ira Black who will be joining us on our upcoming performances,” Killian says.
