Bio:
Destruction is a German thrash metal band. They are considered one of the "The Big Four" of the German thrash metal scene, the others being Kreator, Sodom and Tankard. Three of those four (Tankard being the exception) are often credited with helping pioneer black metal, by containing several elements of what was to become the genre. Destruction was originally named Knight of Demon, but changed their name in 1984. For most of the 1990s, Destruction was not signed to a record label and was forced to self-produce their albums until they signed a contract with Nuclear Blast in the 2000s.Inspired by Iron Maiden, Mercyful Fate, Motörhead and Venom, Destruction were formed as Knight of Demon in 1982. The original line-up featured vocalist and bassist Marcel "Schmier" Schirmer, drummer Tommy Sandmann, and guitarist Mike Sifringer. They soon changed their name to Destruction and released a demo titled Bestial Invasion of Hell in 1984. After this the group signed with Steamhammer Records and released an EP titled Sentence of Death later that year.Destruction released their first full-length album titled Infernal Overkill in 1985, followed by Eternal Devastation in 1986. The trio then added a second guitarist, Harry Wilkens, and released the EP Mad Butcher in 1987, followed by the full-length album Release from Agony (also released in 1987), then a live recording Live Without Sense in 1989, and Cracked Brain in 1990. In 1989, Schmier left the band and Mike Sifringer continued to release albums under the moniker of "Neo-Destruction".In 1999, Schmier rejoined, and things began to look up for the band as they signed a record deal with Nuclear Blast. They then released three more albums: All Hell Breaks Loose in 2000, The Antichrist in 2001, and Metal Discharge in 2003. The band would then sign with AFM Records and release Inventor of Evil in 2005. That album was followed two years later by the compilation of re-recorded songs Thrash Anthems (2007), and then a year later by D.E.V.O.L.U.T.I.O.N. (2008). In February 2011, Destruction released Day of Reckoning.A European tour with Overkill was scheduled for March 2011. Headlining dates in South America and North America were being planned for April and May.The band's thirteenth studio album, Spiritual Genocide, was released in November 23, 2012. Their next album, Under Attack, will be released on May 13, 2016.
Album:
Germany's legendary thrash metal unit DESTRUCTION needs no introduction. Alongside SODOM and KREATOR, DESTRUCTION are among the forerunners who were fundamental in establishing extreme metal's foundation, and they've stood the test of time, having recently marked their 40th anniversary. Far from being a legacy act milking their former glory, Schmier and company — joined in recent years by guitarists Martin Furia and Damir Eskić as well as drummer Randy Black — have continued to challenge themselves without betraying their core sound. Now with their 16th album (!!!),following 2022's "Diabolical", DESTRUCTION return with "Birth Of Malice", an effort that probably won't be referenced much down the road. But it is a hearty slab of tried-and-true thrashing mayhem that is likely to satiate most aficionados of thrash.The dozen songs that comprise "Birth Of Malice" won't surprise anyone. This is ultimately a double-edged sword. The beefy thrust behind the entirety of the album is desirable, yet the consistency ultimately leads to the valley of forgettable nonsense. "Dealer Of Death" surges with primal force and a simple but memorable riff, but the basic approach outstays its welcome. Sure, the initial impact is likely to inspire mosh pit madness, if it's pulled into their set; however, even this song also ultimately drifts off into slumber-inducing monotony.In line with Schmier's disdain for the darker and more selfish tendencies that are ever-present within the human experience, the thrash pioneer spits vitriolic diatribes against exploitation and elitist sociopathy on a cut like "Greed", a particular number that rumbles forth with a nasty and evil energy representing his target while paradoxically defying the benevolent spirit that drives the track's purpose. In contrast to the generic and arguably cliched attacks upon human nature, "Cyber Warfare" touches upon the topical struggles of modern warfare that negatively affect big players politically as well as ordinary everyday people.DESTRUCTION has nothing to prove at this point. "Birth Of Malice" certainly won't find regular rotation amongst thrash metal maniacs and disciples of the band in a few years. At the same time, it won't disappoint longtime fans.
