2010, French guitarist Cyril Achard is back in an aggressive power trio format for VIOLENCIA, an album which boasts just one guitar with no overdubs working with a grooving rhythm section. Reuniting with Cyril once again to form his backing band are the highly esteemed musicians - bassist Franck Hermanny and drummer Eric Lebailly. Best known for being members of France's biggest metal band - Adagio. VIOLENCIA marks Achard's most metal and aggressive of all his electric guitar releases to date. The style of the album could be viewed as a cross between Steve Lukather-ish instrumentals whilst the driving power of album comes as an influence from Metallica, which, whilst not in the same musical ballpark, the metal legends raw power provided Achard with the inspiration to make more powerful tunes again, ´St Hetfield` is such a nod to this.
