{"product_id":"violent-playground_thrashin-blues_2026_disco-soundworks-season-of-mist","title":"Thrashin Blues","description":"Violent Playground is one of those many Thrash Metal bands that, despite their talent, fell into obscurity without ever having real opportunities. Yet, they deserved much more than their peers. In 1988, they managed to create an unmatched fusion of Thrash Metal, Hardrock, and Blues, but that did not open the doors to fame for them. These five musicians experienced their musical journey exclusively within the underground scene for a relatively short period (about three years), without ever having the chance to emerge, at least not at the level of bands like Tankard or Razor. For this reason, Violent Playground is one of the most overlooked bands of its time. Their album \"Thrashin Blues\" has become a true collector's item. The only link Violent Playground has with the world outside the underground is the album cover, created by the famous Ed Repka, known for his illustrations for Megadeth, Death, Toxik, Vio-lence, and others. It is no surprise that they deserve more than many other bands of the era: their sole album is a true masterpiece. There is no excessive derivation, no plagiarized note, the influences of the usual epigones of the genre are barely perceptible, but the sound is typically thrash, enhanced with influences ranging from Blues to Classic Rock. The production is not too raw for a record of this type, made of captivating riffs and solos that have not been heard since the days of \"Kill 'Em All\".","brand":"Violent Playground","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57489912267096,"sku":null,"price":20260515.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en\/products\/violent-playground_thrashin-blues_2026_disco-soundworks-season-of-mist","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
