Vio-lence Recruit Guitarist Ira Black For Summer European Tour

Vio-lence have recruited guitarist Ira Black (Lizzy Borden, etc.) for their upcoming European tour. He will be filling in for Phil Demmel (ex-Machine Head), who is set to fill in for Willie Adler during Lamb Of God’s European shows.

Black issued the following statement:

“The cats out of the bag! I will be filling in for my brotha Phil Demmel in Vio-Lence Offical Page for the upcoming 2022 dates starting at the Brutal Assault Festival on August 9th, Alcatraz Metal Festival on the 13th, the South America run in September and winter European tour! This is going to be a blast and I’m truly honored!

Vio-Lence is a legendary Bay Area thrash band and I’ve known them for many years. I’ve had a great time learning Phil’s parts, rehearsals are going great, these guys are the real deal! I’m looking forward to slaying it for the Vio-Lence fans around the world. See you out there! 🔥”
