I never would have thought violence could be used like a 'drug'.
Here's another interesting link that discusses the mental instability of rock artists some of which wrote music centered on death and violence.

The psychological explanation is that they have been abused, and most likely by people whom they believed loved them, and that they loved in return. The see it as what you do to someone you love. Also, if they are desensitised due to exposure to abuse, it can lead them to exhibit and relate to anti-social behaviours. It is an illness that can never be cured, like those who abuse children. The statistics show most likely that the child will be tortured and killed, and the body tossed or dismembered, with no emotions from the perpetrator. They don't see people, they just see things, and they are the centre of their twisted, delusional world. The best evidence I can refer you to is the way SS soldiers treated the inmates of the concentration camps. Those who take pleasure and find that type of treatment of others to be arousing, and very ill people, and need to be monitored, they are a true threat to society, as well as those who produce the material. It is a serious deviation of thought and behaviour, and is highly dangerous. Take the latest "winner" this week at Virginia Tech. No good will ever come from that material or those who indulge its practise and production. It's a criminal act and abhorred. Nauseating.

Why do so many people become addicted to violent computer games? That is very common and is just another side of the same coin.
