The Color of Violence was an American experimental side project of the post-hardcore band From First to Last. It features From First to Last's drummer Derek Bloom and former guitarist/backup vocalist Travis Richter. The Color of Violence is a way for the members to experiment and have fun with music outside of their other group.
The Color of Violence formed in 2002 originally as a full-time band under the name Skeleton Slaughter vs. Fetus Destroyer. The members attempted to make music that resembled grindcore, specifically the band Discordance Axis. It featured Travis Richter, Derek Bloom, Matt Good, Joey Antillion and Chad Crews. After changing the name to The Color of Violence then recording and releasing an EP and touring in early 2003, all members but Crews put most of their attention into From First to Last (then under the name "First to Last"). Between 2003 and most of 2006, The Color of Violence saw little to no activity.
By the end of 2006, Richter and Bloom decided to return to making music as The Color of Violence as a two-piece band. In 2006 they sent a couple of songs to Brett Gurewitz, founder and CEO of Epitaph Records and guitarist for punk rock band Bad Religion. At this time, From First to Last was also signed to Epitaph, but have since switched to Interscope Records, and later Rise Records.
December 19, 2007, COV released a bulletin via their MySpace, announcing they would be recording next year.
The Color of Violence will be documenting tones and patterns in January of '08. Please don't ask any questions as we have only booked the studio time and have absolutely no idea what we are going to record, just know that its going to be some of the following adjectives, "Brutal" ,"Far out", "Hip" "Gay","Not gay" and then of course "Really gay" Respectively yours, Guy&Glitch The Color of Violence"
