DESTRUCTION

Release Year: 2022
Artist Origin: GER
Style: fundamental uncompromising aggressive thrash metal

recorded in just one day in early 1984, the first six Maiden and Venom inspired tracks were like an initial capsule poured into the foundations of Teutonic thrash, and when such masterpieces as Mad Butcher and Total Desaster are captured on the very first attempt, it becomes clear that vision of three young musicians striving to break through reaches far beyond demo-level ambitions, as raw studio conditions give shape to rough, fast, and vicious sound defined by a strong character, aggressive tempo feeling, and boundless audacity, where lyrics explore themes of death, chaos, and demonic obsession in especially provocative way, laying the groundwork for Destruction’s career and becoming a cornerstone of German thrash as well as emerging extreme metal scene; recent German black/white bi-colored vinyl edition with a specially remastered sound in 2019, pro-printed insert, extra A3 sized poster and A5 sized band photo is limited to 250 units
