The album will be released on August 9th, 2019 via Nuclear Blast.īorn To Perish was recorded in January & February 2019 with VO Pulver at Little Creek Studios in Switzerland and is the first DESTRUCTION album featuring Randy Black on the drums and new 2nd guitar shredder Damir Eskic!Ĭheck out this short teaser and listen to the very first snippets of the upcoming album. The only breather you get on ‘Born To Perish’ is actually the intro to “Butchered For Life” and after this track we have “Tyrants Of The Netherworld” which tests Randy Black’s drumming speed and is the fastest track on the album and gets the head banging furiously.Today, legendary German thrashers, DESTRUCTION, have announced their upcoming 15th studio album, Born To Perish. As usual Marcel Schirmer delivers a top notch vocal performance and his gravelly voice complements the thrash juggernaut sound perfectly. Thus adding to their sound and keeping the listener enthralled by the sonic assault to their senses.įor example “Filthy Wealth” adds a Motörhead inspired vibe to Destructions thrash core, while “Betrayal” takes a slight nod to Power Metal and “Butchered For Life” starts as a Hard Rock ballad before launching into Destructions trademark thrash assault. Although on ‘Born To Perish’they drift slightly off this beaten path of four decades every now and again to inject some distinction into the songs. The nucleus of Destruction sound has, and always will, be thrash metal. Randy Black impact is immediate, with the drums pummeling the senses and additional guitarist Damar riffs are so sharp they splinter your ear drums and add to the cacophonous maelstrom of thrash that is attacking your senses.
DESTRUCTION BORN TO PERISH FULL
With a full on, full speed ahead thrash assault to the senses. Straight from the moment of pressing play, ‘Born To Perish’ starts off as it means to go on. This new blood have injected a new vigor into the already exuberance thrash machine that is Destruction.

They have also recruited Randy Black as the new drummer (famed for his drumming with Annihilator and Primal Fear). Therefore I believe the Teutonic big 4 deserve more credit than they get and ‘Born To Perish’ is further proof of this! Destruction have expanded from a trio of thrash titans to a quartet, with the addition of 2nd guitarist Damir Eskic. However the Teutonic big 4 have stuck to their guns, for the majority, of their career and released fantastic thrash album after album (yes I know people will mention the “Neo-Destruction” phase and the industrial, Gothic influenced Kreator release (Outcast of you were interested). Then the releases get a little unpredictable and some really awful albums released. They have some of the most quintessential thrash albums released among them, let’s be honest any release by them up until, and including 1990, are fantastic. Let’s be honest the Teutonic big 4 have proven themselves over the years to be more influential than the Big 4…a bold statement I know and am not taking away anything from them big 4. Thrash has never looked so good and the chiropractor sector is going to be getting a profit boost soon!!! So far 2019 has been a fantastic year for thrash metal enthusiasts and has had them frothing at the mouth and banging their heads furiously with new releases coming thick and fast from bands such as Flotsam And Jetsam, Overkill, Possessed, Exumer, Xentrix, Death Angel and with future releases from Sacred Reich, Acid Reign, Exhorder and maybe Anthrax? (know Testament has been put back the release of their new album to January 2020). Legendary thrash titans, and one of the big Teutonic 4, Destruction are back with their latest album ‘Born To Perish’, due to be unleashed via Nuclear Blast on 9th August 2019.
