Raging Violence is the debut album by American thrash metal band Hirax, released in 1985 through Metal Blade Records.
Loudwire stated that the vocals "alternated between vicious snarling and semi-operatic screams." They described the music as a "bi-polar blend of blazing thrash and classic metal."[3] The album also contains elements of hardcore punk and punk rock. AllMusic described the style as "speedcore". The album's lyrics explore themes such as war, horror, spirit possession and real life.[4]
