Destruction joined the Metalmania Festival 2007 line-up!
Destruction, the icon of the German thrash metal scene, confirmed their appearance at Metalmania Festival 2007. The 21st edition of the biggest metal fest in Central-Eastern Europe - will take place on 24th March 2007 in Spodek Hall in Katowice, Poland. As usual there will be two stages where around 25 bands will perform for thousands of metal freaks!!!!
Destruction started in 1982 as a Knight of Demon and soon after was named, alongside Kreator and Sodom, one of the best thrash metal bands from Germany. Their last studio album - "Inventor of Evil" was released in 2005 and in January 2007 the band released a compilation album - "Thrash Anthems". Alongside 13 remakes the record contains two brand new songs - "Deposition (Your Heads Will Roll)" and "Profanity". The bassist/vocalist Marcel "Schmier" Schirmer comments:
"The intention of this album was to give the old classics - many of them still being a big part of our setlist - some fresh energy and the aggressive production of today, without losing the 'old-school' atmosphere. Some of the old recordings have a rather poor sound and we didn't wanna do another 'best of' album with those (old recordings) 'cause it has been done before and won't be exciting at all. But after more than 17 years it was time for another 'best of' album. This album (?) feature 13 classics of the pre-reunion era (84-90). Some of those songs we haven´t played in ages, and the fans have been demanding them in our live set for a long time too".
