Violent Force - Malevolent Assault of Tomorrow

Violent Force were a German thrash metal band. They released a handful of demos, with their work culminating in the 1987 full-length, Malevolent Assault of Tomorrow. If you've heard German thrash metal before, you have a good idea of what to expect: fast as hell, harsh vokills, total beer soaked madness! And if you don't...well, you're in for a treat! In terms of representing "the best of German thrash," I wouldn't put Violent Force at the top of the list, but they'd definitely be mentioned.

Similar to a lot of late 80s thrash metal (at least when you start listening to boatloads of it like me), it's the type of album that sounds generic if you're not really paying attention to what's going on, and requires a bit more "active listening." There's actually some really talented musicianship and songwriting going on here, it's just unfortunate that this type of music was INCREDIBLY popular/over done at this time period, so it was easy to get left in the dust (kind of like bestial metal nowadays, *cough* *cough*).

Anyways, metal-archives says they're active again, so maybe we'll hear from them again soon. The mediafire link for this album is below. Enjoy!
