Violence Reborn first came together under a different name (Violent Rebirth) in the winter of 2002. It was started by the band's current bass guitarist Viktor (Craig) in the town of Ogden, Utah. Times were calling for Viktor to bring something to Metal lovers that he thought was lacking in the music of the day.It seemed that there was not as much violence in the music when the band came about. The general idea at the time the band came together, and it still holds true this day, is bringing back everything music used to be. The lead guitar actually having leads, the bass not sticking to one note the whole song, drums that can play ballads or make a hummingbird look like its wings are slow, and vocals/lyrics that have a real meaning to touch the soul and inspire or frighten those who listen.The band has had some rough times between different members and scheduling things to come together, but the band is resolved to bring everything it promises: good music, a good time, and keeping with the highest traditions of heavy metal.
The band currently consists of four members who are: Austin Bunton - Lead Vocalist, Dennis Bowden - Guitarist/Weird Background Noises, Craig Bowden (aka Viktor) - Bass/Backing Vocals, Joshua Bowden - Drummer.
Even with some set backs of members leaving and sometimes a lack of devotion from some (they are nearly fired immediately if there is no motivation) the band is determined to make it in the world of rock and will stop at nothing to bring the best metal imaginable. With a total of more than fourty years experience between all four of the members, a promise of nothing but the best is given.
The current band members came together and started playing in October of 2006. Austin is fairly new to the music industry with two years of singing in the band; Dennis brings thirty years of experience playing lead guitar in band such as No Quarter, Crystal Rush, and S&G; Craig has five years of bass playing with Violence Reborn, Known Better Days, Insolent, and Triple Six Ritual; Josh has six years drumming and has played with Sinner's Touch before coming to Violence Reborn.
