WE ALSO GOT TO BE PART OF A COMPILATION CD PUT TOGETHER BY LIFELESS RECORDS WHICH IS RUN BY MATT BACHARD WHO PLAYS GUITAR IS "SHADOWS FALL".AFTER GETTING IN TOUCH WITH HIM HE OFFERED US A SPOT ON THE CD AND OF COURSE WE SAID "HELL YEAH".THE CD FEATURES ABOUT 100 UNDERGROUND METAL BANDS ACROSS 5 CD'S.THESE ARE ALSO FOR SALE IF INTERESTED.
CD REVIEWS:METAL HAMMER MAGAZINE :"By the unholy majesty of Dark Lord Satan's shiny red ass, the UK has never sounded so good" 7/10WWW.ASTRO-ZOMBIE.COM :"Let’s hope Violent Asylum channel there obvious talent into taking the British Metal scene back to where it belongs.""Violent Asylum have what it takes, this is well conceived and executed.""A pure and total balls to the wall Thrash metal escapist piece""It’s a long time since any band has been this unashamedly Thrash"WWW.SWAINE69.FREESERVE.CO.UK :"Excellent stuff that reminds me just how exciting proper metal can be""Monsters of Metal!"WWW.AUDIOCRATIC.COM :"Superb guitar playing coupled with heavy beats and dark rasping vocals""Promising thrash metal with great hooks and influences from a wide range of heavy genres paired with their own excellent ability"LIVE REVIEWSWWW.UNDERFIRE PROMOTIONS:"Violent Asylum are, by far one of the best and most talented live bands i've had the pleasure of watching in the last 5 years."We are bombarded with the type of technical guitar playing that would give most normal guitarists serious wrist strain. It's a frightening display of power and presicion yet its delivered with such ease you get the feeling these guys are taking the piss somewhat!""With a live show this powerful, energetic and entertaining, it is simply a matter of time before violent asylum take their rightfull place at the head of the uk thrash scene."NEON PROMOTIONS :"Violent Asylum thunder into action with a speedy and intense metal set - some great guitar riffs rip thru the air in proper ols school slayer style""Some moments see the band step firmly into extreme thrash metal territory, yet there is always room for a good riff.""Some real powerhouse drumming provides a solid yet extreme back bone for the band, who all in all are a most enjoyable act."WWW.LIVE4METAL.COM :"Tight as a duck's arse""a show you'd be hard-pressed to forget""If they're playing any gigs near you, make an effort to see them cos you won't regret it!!"
