Founded in Brazil’s capital Bras\u00edlia in 2002, Violator set out to become one of the figureheads of the post-millennial new wave of old-school thrash metal. The four-piece was born out of the members\u0092 shared love of genre-defining acts from the scene\u0092s golden era in the 1980s, blending the unrelenting early style of the pioneers from their country (Sepultura, Korzus) with the American tradition (genre titans Exodus in particular) and a pinch of hardcore crossover. High Roller Records are proud to reissue four key releases of the group on vinyl, with \u0093Violent Mosh\u0094 marking their first professional effort on Brazilian label Kill Again Records in 2004. After one demo and four-way split, the six-track EP set the tone for what was to come two years later on Violator\u0092s debut album \u0093 Chemical Assault\u0094, both titles capturing the energetic live shows they played both on their own as well as supporting international greats such as Destruction. Speaking of which, the 2010 \u0093Annihilation Process\u0094 EP saw singer\/bassist Pedro Arcanjo move beyond vocal impersonations of the Germans\u0092 front man Schmier or Kreator\u0092s Mille, just as the music got more mature, with songs like the elaborate \u0091Futurephobia\u0092 displaying potential in heaps. Making good on this promise, the band\u0092s second full-length \u0093Scenarios of Brutality\u0094 (2013) saw their by now signature sound take full effect, exuding the air of a new-time genre classic. Riff-heavy at an intense pace, credibly expressing anger and fury through established themes, ranging from the sociopolitical conscious and doom-mongering to plain thrash self-referentiality and boasting raw yet powerful productions, these four records are most vital additions to the genre canon \u0096 Let the Violation Begin!<\/p>\n
