'Violence & Force' is the second studio album by Canadian speed metal band Exciter, originally released through Megaforce Records in February 1984.
The album was produced by The Rods drummer Carl Canedy, who had already produced Anthrax's debut album 'Fistful of Metal'. It was reissued in 1999 by SPV/Steamhammer with the same track listing and again in 2004 by Megaforce, without the song "Evil Sinner".
'Violence & Force' is a blistering slab of early speed metal that helped lay the groundwork for the genre’s explosion. Featuring relentless rippers like 'Scream In The Night', 'Pounding Metal' and the neck-snapping title track 'Violence & Force'.
