Infest, an American hardcore punk group from Valencia, California, was formed in September 1986 by Joe Denunzio, Matt Domino, Dave Ring, and Chris Clift. The band’s early recordings, including a 1987 demo and the 1988 Infest EP, established their aggressive style and introduced the term "powerviolence" to the scene. Their first significant release was the Mankind 7″ in 1991, before the band broke up in 1996. They later returned and released the KXLU Radioshow live EP in 2001 and the full‑length No Man's Slave in 2002 and performed at Maryland Deathfest and Chaos in Tejas in 2013.
