Destruction: Thrash Anthems

What at first might seem a Desruction "best of" compilation is actually the veteran German thrashers going back into the studio and re-recording many of their classic songs from throughout their career. Let's face it, these guys have been around since 1984, and along with Kreator and Sodom helped launch Germany as one of the strongholds of thrash metal in the mid-80's. Bassist/vocalist Schmier and company decided against having a normal collection of classics released, instead going into the studio with their current line-up and giving these songs a new spin. Drummer Marc Reign and guitarist Mike Sifringer really shine on such legendary thrash cuts as "Release From Agony", "Life Without Sense", "Mad Butcher", "Sign of Fear", "Curse the Gods", and "Unconscious Ruins", as these songs contain brutal riffs and plenty of intricate drum work. While some might contend that Kreator were the heavier band, there's no denying that Destruction had the upper hand in the speed category. So, if you have ever wondered what some of the early Destruction songs sounded like with clearer, more powerful production and sound, check out Thrash Anthems. Plus, you get two new tracks, "Deposition (Heads Will Roll)" and "Profanity", to hold you over till the next studio album. What more can you ask for!
