Christian Olde Wolbers has officially parted ways with Vio-lence. The bassist confirmed his exit via social media earlier today, February 24th.

Wolbers joined Vio-lence in in 2020 replacing Deen Dell and has also contributed to the 2022 album Let The World Burn.

Most recently Wolbers has been playing stand up bass for Cypress Hill live shows.

Wolbers shared the following:

I wanna thank these 3 dudes right here for 6 years of @vio_lence_band. All bad ass dudes right here who created some real Thrash metal magic in the Bay Area in the 80's/90's.

I wasn't going to post anything or make a big stink announcement but when i saw this picture today i felt i had too. This pic just sums it all up. i love these dudes!

Vio-lence was my favorite thrash metal band when i was 17-18 years old and obviously there was a higher spirit already knowing i would end up making a journey in this band a few decades later. Crazy how that all that works out. Completely mind blowing to be honest. Be careful what you wish for

But unfortunatly my journey with the band has to come to an end as i am going to pursue my own new solo band and producing career.

It not easy throwing in the towel, im not a quitter, the last time i quit a band was in 92 when i quit Asphyxia in Belgium and moved to the USA a few months later to pursue a bigger career.

Cypress Hill has been busy as well with the Symphony Experience and i wanna concentrate on writing albums that i have been dreaming of making for a long time.

I have a creative space (studio) so i am already in the lab busy making new music. Get ready
