ARMORED SAINT, VIO-LENCE - Košice

12 / 08 / 2026 / KOŠICE / COLLOSSEUM CLUB

An American heavy/thrash storm is heading to Košice! Armored Saint with the phenomenal John Bush and thrash legends Vio-Lence will take over Collosseum Club on August 12. Expect first-class riffs and the raw energy of the Californian school in its purest form. This is mandatory attendance for every fan of honest, hard-hitting metal craftsmanship. ????

Armored Saint have been one of the unwavering pillars of American heavy metal since the early 1980s. The lineup built around charismatic frontman John Bush (ex-Anthrax) and bass wizard Joey Vera (Fates Warning) has never bowed to short-lived trends, consistently maintaining their signature sound rooted in technical precision and anthemic choruses. From iconic albums like March of the Saint and Symbol of Salvation to their more recent, critically acclaimed material, they continue to prove that classic metal in their hands doesn’t age — it matures. Their live sets are the definition of dynamics and top-tier drive, working flawlessly in both clubs and larger venues. ⚡

On the opposite end of the intensity spectrum stand Vio-Lence, one of the most aggressive acts ever to emerge from the legendary Bay Area scene. Their debut Eternal Nightmare (1988) remains an unmatched milestone of thrash metal, pushing the genre’s limits with chaotic speed and the uniquely unsettling vocal delivery of Sean Killian. Back on stage with Phil Demmel (ex-Machine Head, Kerry King) in the lineup, they prove that their “thrash-o-matic” energy is far from fading. Expect a relentless barrage of riffs that once shaped the San Francisco scene and still hit today like the sonic equivalent of a wrecking ball. ????
