On Come, Heavy Breath, VIOLENT LIFE VIOLENT DEATH utilizes gritty, gut-punching production – led by producer Kyle Dameron at Rareform Recordings in Hickory, NC-to generate a wall of unrelenting hardcore, metal, punk, and even blues-influenced aggression that doesn’t stop until the last second of the record.

1) Come, Heavy Breath
2) Backbiter
3) Rot
4) Mourn
5) Lovers/Deceivers
6) Narcissist
Featuring former members of Deception of a Ghost (Trustkill/Bullet Tooth), A Stained Glass Romance (Torque/Victory), and Aria (Tribunal), VIOLENT LIFE VIOLENT DEATH broke out in late 2016 with the release of their first studio offering, V-EP – a vicious, nostalgic effort summoning influences reminiscent of Zao with an in-your-face, chaotic Every Time I Die-like edge. Lambgoat dubbed the release, “a formidable debut”, and Invicta Mag stated, “For a band so fresh to produce something of this quality at the start… they have paved the way for a promising career.”
