Still sealed digipak

German thrash metal veterans Destruction celebrated their 40th anniversary by setting the world ablaze with this, hard-hitting grenade in the form of the album, Diabolical. As one of the most legendary German thrash metal bands in existence, Destruction grace the wall of fame alongside giants like Kreator, Sodom and Tankard. After the charging start of opener Under The Spell, Destruction shows no mercy on title track Diabolical, with raging drums, bloodthirsty riffs and hellish vocals that sink deep down into your bones. No Faith In Humanity relentlessly rages on with non-stop headbanging action, while Destruction continues to smash eardrums on Hope Dies Last – providing unbeatable brutality with unstoppable speed, destructive verses and screeching voices. Tormented Soul, on the other hand, is loaded with proper heavy metal and explosive drums. The grand finale of the 47-minute parade of devastation is provided by cover track City Baby Attacked By Rats, originally by GBH, guaranteeing whiplash by combining rough hardcore punk with brute thrash metal. Sure long time fans might miss Mike’s amazing style of staccato riffs but at the same time its an album that shows that Schmier are alble to produce an album without his long time friend and original guitarist. Diabolical is full of honest and uncompromising, bludgeoning thrash metal, catapulting you straight into the seventh heaven of metallic bliss and causing a massacre of razor-sharp sound no fan of the genre should miss!
