Violence (Baltimore band) Violence is an American band that, for recordings, is composed singularly of Olin Caprison. The project began in 2010, but their first official release was REPTILE/Hand Me Downs from Heaven, a menacing combination of romanticism, juke, death metal, and gothic rock, with Steak Au Zoo Records in 2012. From there Violence focused on performing throughout the United States until participating in the compilation Mykki Blanco Presents: C-ORE. Their participation displayed the progression of earlier ideas into a sound that was said to explore "the technological over-stimulation of a proto human archetype," moving from fog-horn grime to cryptic sermons to doom metal. The next release came with A Ruse of Power, a sonic exploration of "different societal contexts of violence – from political tragedies to neighbourhood shootings to the consequences of performed hypermasculinity," jumping from Caprison’s piercing screams to howling industrial winds and tiptoeing square wave melodies, on NON Worldwide, in 2016.
