2022 EP by Vio-lence
Let the World Burn is an EP by the American thrash metal band Vio-Lence, released on March 4, 2022, by Metal Blade Records.[1] It is the band's first material of any kind since their initial disbandment in 1994, and their first EP since Torture Tactics (1991). The EP is also Vio-lence's first studio recording to feature a different lineup, with bassist Christian Olde Wolbers and rhythm guitarist Bobby Gustafson replacing Deen Dell and Robb Flynn respectively, and three-fifths of the Eternal Nightmare lineup – lead guitarist Phil Demmel, vocalist Sean Killian and drummer Perry Strickland – remaining.[1] This is also the band's only recording to feature Gustafson, whom the band parted ways with in 2022, and Wolbers, who departed the band in 2025; it is also their final recording to feature Strickland and Demmel before their departures from the band in January 2023 and February 2024, respectively.
