Released in the year2001. This band is a prodigy of talentless talant. the lyrics of David Brockie (Oderus) are immature in songs such as "Lick Sore". These however are not weak points or faults of the band. The music stylings of Gwar vary in style such songs (lick sore) have a punk rock influence while other songs such as "Apes of Wrath" have a small touch of Thrash and Speed metal. Violence has Arrived is a proof of punk gone metal. This 13 track cd has only 2 songs i do not like, not because they are bad but because one is an intro and the other is slow. this cd is a must have for any metal head or punk or whatever you want to be called. that is why this cd recieves 5 skulls.
