Editorial Reviews

In the endless wake of faceless whatever you want to call it core bands, The Destro plows through stereo types and labels with a sound they can call their own. Singer, Eric describes, We just take all our influences which are everything from classic rock and blues to grind core.........it's a mixture of everything we grew up with here in Texas. -Guitarist Nick continues-No fashion, no gimmicks, no fancy haircuts.....just honest music. We cut out all the bulls**t. This band plays music with soul and we are not here to try and fit into a mold. The Destro's hard work led to opening the SUMMER SANITARIUM show outside of Texas Stadium and official radio-sponsored shows for SLAYER, HATEBREED, ROB ZOMBIE, KORN, SYSTEM OF A DOWN, and DISTURBED and many more

The Destro are a four piece band from Gainesville,Tx. They are a mix of southern groove and thrash metal along the lines of Pantera or Exhorder. Let me tell you that this album is great and is a must for anybody who is a fan of the previous bands I just mentioned. What is great about them is the overall intensity of the music that doesn't let up for a minute the whole cd. I love it and I know all of the guys in this band. I just saw them perform here in Austin and my roomate is friends with them so we let them crash at my house. Really nice guys and a really awesome band. Get it now.

Call yourself a metal a fan? Give "As the Coil Unwinds" a listen and I dare you to say it's not heavy enough. I've had this album in my car CD player for the last 3 months.

Because they're from Texas, I've read comparisons to Pantera and I just don't hear it. This album is original and the riffs are so choice, continued play is mandatory if you want to hear it all.

I saw The Destro's video on Headbangers Ball and bought the album online. Stop listening to weak metal, get blugeoned by the Destro.
