Vio-Lence have parted ways with guitarist Bobby Gustafson (ex-Overkill), who joined the group in early 2020.
The band shared the news via social media, stating: "Vio-Lence and Bobby Gustafson have agreed to part ways effective immediately. The band cites 'logistical difficulties that weigh too heavy to function in a productive manner'. Remaining members all 'thank Bobby for his time in the band and all his VIO efforts. We wish him the very best."
Formed in 1985, Oakland thrashers Vio-Lence helped define and refine what came to be known as the Bay Area sound.
