Vio-lence is set to return to the global stage with their Summer 2026 tour, “Eruption of Screams.” Kicking off on July 20 in Gdańsk and July 21 in Warsaw, Poland, opening for Biohazard.
As a pioneering Bay Area thrash band that emerged in the late 1980s, Vio-lence built a reputation for their aggressive sound and influential releases, helping define the genre’s intensity and edge. The tour marks another chapter in the band’s legacy as they bring their high-energy performances across Europe, the United Kingdom, Russia and Asia, including a return to Brutal Assault, where they previously performed in 2022.
“We’re excited to get back to Europe and the UK, and visit Russia, China, Japan, Taipei and South Korea for the first time.” — Sean Killian
The run will include select dates alongside fellow FM Music Management artists, including Armored Saint, Cutthroat, and Angelus Apatrida. Following the European and UK leg, the tour will continue through Russia and multiple stops across Asia, ultimately concluding on August 28 in Seoul, South Korea.
The current lineup features founding frontman Sean Killian, guitarists Ira Black (Dio Disciples, Metal Church, Lizzy Borden) and Claudeous Creamer (Possessed), bassist Jeff Salgado (Psychosomatic), and drummer Nick Souza (Hatriot), all of who have been performing with Vio-lence across multiple recent tours.
Vio-lence is set to release new music in 2027.
