Biography

After their 40-year-anniversary tour through South America and Europe German
Thrash-Teutons DESTRUCTION take no rest and strike again with their new album Birth Of
Malice – out March 7, 2024 via Napalm Records! Founder Schmier once again combines
his dual vocal/bass attack with crashing riffs from dual battle axe masters Martin Furia and
Damir Eskić, while Randy Black blasts his drums to new heights. As witnessed on their
previous thrash-fest Diabolical (2022), DESTRUCTION return with their uniquely raw and
brutal sound, delivering merciless songs with a touch more variety and groove this time. All
twelve songs straight from the butchers hit with a direct and clean sound – resulting in
addictive metal anthems for the next generation of thrashers!

Their newest onslaught is opened by the brutal “Destruction” with a luring intro transforming
into a true thrashing hymn with razor sharp guitars honoring the band’s 40+ year legacy,
where mastermind Schmier reflects on the old days. Like the title Birth Of Malice suggests,
lyrically Schmier delves deep in human errors – like selfish behavior on “Greed” and “Evil
Never Sleeps”, while stomping “A.N.G.S.T.” delivers shredding guitar solos and flirts with
our paranoid instinct, criticizing evil forces who prey on the weaknesses of others. A clear
statement is made with carnage on “Scumbag Human Race”, exploring the mistakes
mankind makes and pushing authorities in its memorable chorus “I will count your days!”.
The same rebellious attitude can be witnessed on the banging “No Kings – No Masters”. On
the album, DESTRUCTION also shift to futuristic topics, like the unconscious influence of
technology and new forms of war on “Cyber Warfare”. To close this brutal tour de force on a
positive note, the thrashing legends celebrate their strong allyship with metal colleagues
Accept, by presenting their own version of classic neck breaker “Fast As A Shark”.

All of these heavy topics are combined in the brutal cover artwork, designed by talented
Hungarian artist Gyula Havancsák, known for his works for bands like Accept, Kreator and
Blind Guardian. Birth Of Malice was recorded at Switzerland’s Little Creek Studio by
V.O.Pulver and guitarist Martin Furia mixed and mastered the masterpiece at The Black
Mancave in Hannover, Germany. DESTRUCTION mark themselves once again as a tight
metal-machine, switching between ruthless thrash and pounding melodic moments, proving
they are more than ready to slaughter again on this new album, and at their upcoming
shows all over the world!
