The Ultra-Violence is the debut studio album by American thrash metal band Death Angel, released in 1987.[4] The album was recorded while all members were under 20, with drummer Andy Galeon just 14 years old.[5] The album is considered a classic in the thrash metal genre, listed as number 370 in the 2010 reference book, The Top 500 Heavy Metal Albums of All Time.[6]

The title could be a reference to Stanley Kubrick's movie A Clockwork Orange.
