Former Fear Factory bassist, Christian Olde Wolbers, joined ’80s thrashers, Vio-Lence, in 2020 as the replacement for original bassist Deen Dell, who left the band for personal reasons. Now, Wolbers has announced his departure. He has shared the following statement:
“I wanna thank these 3 dudes right here for 6 years of Vio-Lence. All bad ass dudes right here who created some real thrash metal magic in the Bay Area in the ’80s / ’90s. I wasn’t going to post anything or make a big stink announcement, but when I saw this picture today I felt I had to. This pic just sums it all up. I love these dudes!
Vio-lence was my favorite thrash metal band when I was 17-18 years old, and obviously there was a higher spirit already knowing I would end up making a journey in this band a few decades later. Crazy how that all that works out. Completely mind- blowing, to be honest. Be careful what you wish for. But unfortunately, my journey with the band has to come to an end as I am going to pursue my own new solo band and producing career.
It not easy throwing in the towel; I’m not a quitter. The last time I quit a band was in ’92 when I quit Asphyxia in Belgium and moved to the USA a few months later to pursue a bigger career.
Cypress Hill has been busy as well with the Symphony Experience, and I wanna concentrate on writing albums that I have been dreaming of making for a long time.
I have a creative space (studio) so I am already in the lab busy making new music. Get ready.”
Wolbers recorded one EP with Vio-lence, Let The World Burn, released in 2022.
