Violator is a Brazilian thrash metal band renowned for their relentless energy and politically charged lyrics. Formed in 2002 in Brasília, they quickly became one of the most prominent acts in the Brazilian thrash metal scene. Rooted in the influence of classic 80s thrash metal bands, Violator's music is characterized by its ferocious speed, aggressive guitar riffs, and a raw, uncompromising sound.

Building their reputation through underground releases and passionate live performances, the band's first major recognition came with their debut EP "Violent Mosh" (2004), followed by their first full-length album "Chemical Assault" in 2006, which was praised for its visceral intensity and social commentary. Their subsequent albums, "Annihilation Process" (2010) and "Scenarios of Brutality" (2013), showcased tighter musicianship and more complex compositions without sacrificing the band's trademark vehement approach. With their latest release, "The Hidden Face of Death" EP in 2017, Violator continues to cement its status as a driving force in the metal genre, delivering punishing tracks that resonate with fans of old-school thrash metal across the globe.
