Violent Green started to form in the early months of 2007, although at that time
an unnamed project, the core members were present. Being offered a debut gig at
Brisbane’s premier metal club Phoenix, the search for a drummer became a priority.
Todd Hansen (The Berzerker / HeadKase) put his hand up as a fill in drummer while
the band continued to search for a full time member. Dr. Spikenstein (Brian McKee)
fell into place not long after and Violent Green was born. Slowly climbing the
ladder of the Brisbane metal scene a small amount of fans came to know the revolving
door of songs that morphed into a strong mix of death metal and death-core.
A surge of local gigs soon saw Violent Green playing alongside Brisbane’s
Defamer, People Die, Empyrean and land supports for bands such as The Dead,
Frankenbok(VIC) and Sinate(NZ). 2008 saw the release of the bands first demo
(chapter I) and later that year a fan favorite 'Welcome to Hell' was featured
on Brismetal.com Record’s Compilation.
With time out from gigging Violent Green saw the inside of a studio (Anders Debeerz)
for the first time recording a six song EP entitled Abyssus in Terra. Shortly after
supporting The Dreamkillers, the band and Brian McKee parted ways, allowing Brian to
focus more on various other projects including Devilution and Happy Camper.
The jam room soon saw the addition of Leo Graae - a drumming force to be reckoned
with and Violent Green was reborn. Taking on an increasingly dark and blackened
death sound the ball began to roll once more with the support of Brazilian
death metal legends Krisiun and New Zealand’s Dawn of Azazel.
August 2009 will see the official launch of the band’s Abyssus in Terra EP with various
shows in South East Queensland playing along side Alchemist, Empyrean and Bane of Isildur.
With new material constantly being written the band plans for a full length release in 2010.
