While there can be no doubt that the North Americans win hands down in the death \/ power \/ speed metal stakes, it\u2019s the Germans who are heading the European challenge. Hot on the heels of Living Death, Brainfever and Grave Digger comes the speed \/ black metal trio Destruction<\/a>.<\/p>\n

After the usual Satanical narrated intro to the album, it\u2019s total thrash all the way, driven along by some unbelievable speed drumming from Tommy. Bassist and vocalist Schmier has one of those almost cringeable croaks which seem to be the norm with a majority of the demonic bands these days, but it\u2019s lead guitarist Mike who is the true star of this show; unleashing some of the best lead-work ever heard in black metal.<\/p>\n

Of the five numbers only the disjointed \u2018Black Mass\u2019 falls below standard, while the remainder \u2013 \u2018Total Desaster\u2019, \u2018Mad Butcher\u2019, \u2018Devil\u2019s Soldiers\u2019 and the awesome \u2018Satan\u2019s Vengeance\u2019 \u2013 project an orgy of intense mayhem. Grab a copy now!<\/p>\n
