Original VIO-LENCE drummer Perry Strickland has officially parted ways with the group

Yesterday (February 8), Strickland shared a video to his Instagram of him performing with VIO-LENCE, along with the caption: “”I’ll Miss playing these songs !”

When one fan asked the drummer in the comments section if he had in fact left VIO-LENCE, Strickland replied: “yes about a month ago”.

Among the people reacting to Strickland’s announcement was former OVERKILL and VIO-LENCE guitarist Bobby Gustafson, who wrote: “Good luck with what ever you do in the future. We had some good times finally.”

As of this point it remains unknown who will be playing drums for the band moving forward as VIO-LENCE is scheduled to play at the Whisky A Go Go in West Hollywood, California on February 25, followed by shows in Asia, Australia and New Zealand in March.

In March 2022, VIO-LENCE released a new EP, “Let The World Burn“, via Metal Blade Records. The five-song collection, VIO-LENCE‘s first original release since 1993’s “Nothing To Gain“, was tracked at Trident Studios in Pacheco, California by Juan Urteaga (MACHINE HEAD, EXODUS), mixed by Tue Madsen (DARK TRANQUILLITY, HEAVEN SHALL BURN) and mastered by Ted Jensen (ALICE IN CHAINS, DEATH ANGEL).

VIO-LENCE’s recording lineup on “Let The World Burn” consisted of Gustafson, founding guitarist Phil Demmel, singer Sean Killian and Strickland along with former FEAR FACTORY bassist Christian Olde Wolbers.
