Former FEAR FACTORY bassist Christian Olde Wolbers has announced his departure from San Francisco Bay Area thrash metal veterans VIO-LENCE.
Earlier today (Monday, February 24),Olde Wolbers shared a photo of him with VIO-LENCE singer Sean Killian, ex-VIO-LENCE guitarist Phil Demmel and former VIO-LENCE drummer Perry Strickland, and he included the following message: "I wanna thank these 3 dudes right here for 6 years of @vio_lence_band. All bad ass dudes right here who created some real Thrash metal magic in the Bay Area in the 80's/90's.
"I wasn't going to post anything or make a big stink announcement but when I saw this picture today I felt I had to. This pic just sums it all up. I love these dudes!
"VIO-LENCE was my favorite thrash metal band when I was 17-18 years old and obviously there was a higher spirit already knowing I would end up making a journey in this band a few decades later. Crazy how that all that works out. Completely mind blowing to be honest. Be careful what you wish for.
"But unfortunately my journey with the band has to come to an end as I am going to pursue my own new solo band and producing career.
"It's not easy throwing in the towel. I'm not a quitter, the last time I quit a band was in 92 when I quit ASPHYXIA in Belgium and moved to the USA a few months later to pursue a bigger career.
"CYPRESS HILL has been busy as well with the Symphony Experience and I wanna concentrate on writing albums that I have been dreaming of making for a long time.
"I have a creative space (studio) so i am already in the lab busy making new music. Get ready".
VIO-LENCE released three studio albums between 1988 and 1993. The group reformed soon after Demmel acrimoniously left MACHINE HEAD more than six years ago.
VIO-LENCE released a new EP, "Let The World Burn", in March 2022 via Metal Blade Records.
