Violent Work of Art (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Violent Work of Art (VWOA) is a Swedish industrial metal band that combines metalcore with trance music. The band lost their record deal with Download Records when the owner of the label committed suicide and the label was put out of business. In 1998 the band changed their musical style, and member line-up, and started to play Industrial Metal Music. They released their drummer and began using a Drum Machine. VWOA did a cover of AC/DC's song "Hells Bells," which was featured on the album A Salute To AC/DC, 1] released by Tribute Records, which brought them a fair share of publicity. Another noteworthy cover they made was of Ozzy Osbourne's song "Bark at the Moon." 2] In 1999 they released Promo '99, their first demo with their new style, and in 2000 they released Promo 2000. They remained unsigned by a label during this period. Violent Work Of Art gained a lot of notoriety from countries like France, U.S. and Germany by uploading their songs at Mp3.com, which was later transformed by Cnet into more of a commercial music website.
