5.0 out of 5 stars A Future Classic, May 21, 2004

By	Johnny Hoochie (São Paulo, Brazil) - See all my reviews

I couldn't believe myself when I first heard this record. I was addicted to their last record (The Antichrist, which is a masterpiece by the way) and I had high hopes for this one. But the record even topped my hopes. It blew me away.

1- The Ravenous Beast - One of the greatest tracks ever recorded by a Thrash band ever! The guitar riff is simply amazing and Schmier's voice is amazing too.

2- Metal Discharge - This is another future classic without doubt! This riff rules!

3- Rippin' The Flesh Appart - This song is somehow different from the first two since it's more slow and melodic (but still with some fast riffs in the middle) but still rocks and is a personal favourite.

4- Fear of the Moment - This is like an old tune. Catchy riffs but the same Destruction type chorus. Great song but not the best.

5- Mortal Remains - GREAT RIFF! I love this song!! It's very catchy and so cool. Very cool song.

6- Desecrators of the New Age - The third song that have a video (the other two being the first two of the record) and without doubt a fan favourite.

7- Historical Force Feed - This riff is very much alike the riff from Mortal Remains but still the song is very good with some good bass lines. Not the best but with a great chorus.

8- Savage Symphony of Terror - The first verse says everything:
"It's inside my brain,
It drives me insane
It's eating me alive
Into the pits of black,
A faithless payback?
Evil twisted mind!!"

9- Made to Be Broken - Great bass line and a fantastic guitar riff from Mike. Schmier's voice is very strong in this one. Great little song.

10- Vendetta - It finishes this record in a high note. This song is so great I can't even express in words. Listen to it.

This record is without doubt one the greatest from 2003 and especially one the greatest from this German band. Great opportunity to own a masterpiece of Thrash Metal.

4.0 out of 5 stars Destruction smokes!, March 2, 2004

By	Devin Deblois (Poolesville, MD United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is the first album I've bought by the classic German thrash metal band Destruction. I must say I'm quite impressed, as far as I know the vocalist/bassist Schmier and the guitarist Mike are original members and the drummer Marc Reign is fairly new to the band. Schmiers' vocals are razor sharp, downright creepy at times, and remind me of Mille Petroza from Kreator. The band plays old school thrash in the same style as old Metallica or Slayer even. As bonus tracks they cover Metallica's Whiplash and there's also a cover of Killers by Iron Maiden. The band even covers a punk song by the Exploited called U.S.A. My favorite songs off the album are Ravenous Beast, Made to be Broken, Vendetta, and the cover of Killers. I would recommend this band to anyone who's a fan of thrash. For a three piece band these guys kick major butt, and they have a cool leather jacket/rivet/bullet belt image like a lot of the older thrash bands used to have, but have now abandoned. To top it all off Schmier plays those wicked looking flying-v Dean basses! I definitely have to get some more of their albums.
