Violence is the self-titled third album from Baltimore born/ New York based artist, multi-instrumentalist, and cult figure Olin Caprison..

Their compositions are known for vivisecting and seamlessly merging the idiosyncratic features of hip hop, metla, RnB, and electronica, creating a language all their own.

A dense multilayered opus, the album takes us on a journey through religious ceremony, nightmarish visions, and the forgotten corners of a decaying cityscape, leading us to the celebratory catharsis of the club.

Entirely written, produced and performed by Violence, the project is an ambitious and singular vision that takes their unique sound to transcendent new places.

The album initiates with Small Body, a solemn hymn inspired by the procession of nurses encircling a congregation in black pentecostal tradition.

It's freeform chanting and syncopated body percussion invoke the trancelike rhythms of call and response music.

A hollowed chamber of reverence that pulls us deep into the vision of the album. It's followed by Reptile, a horrifying slab of industrial intensity that merges multiple narratives seen throughout history to interrogate a side of victimhood not usually explored.

A baroque masterpiece of intricate instrumentation and celestial theatre, guitar melodies blast across a delicately woven tapestry, reflecting the manic, distorted, and unstable mindset of the central figure.

Carved in Stone is an ode to Baltimore, Violence's hometown, a brooding rap song that ends in an electronic symphony.

Using Violence's signature cinematic orchestration to tell the story of a particular alleyway in Baltimore, a loveless place filled with the debris and detritus of ill fated hedonism, the fragments of escaped traumas like broken bottles glistening under street lamps.

I Write Letters to You Everyday and Burn Them in the Fires of My Pride is the celebratory finale.

Its gloriously chaotic polyrhythms, inspired by callbacks and prehistoric song structures, mix with the affectations of club music in reference to Violence's days DJing dark underground NYC parties, a celebration of their relationship and adjacency to the club world.
