German thrash metal veterans DESTRUCTION will release their new album, "Day Of Reckoning", on February 28, 2011 via Nuclear Blast Records. The first limited edition of the album will not feature the band's logo on the booklet while the vinyl version and second pressing of the CD will show a red DESTRUCTION logo on it.
Commented DESTRUCTION bassist/vocalist Marcel "Schmier" Schirmer: "First of all, 'cause I hear the hardcore fans already complaining, the DESTRUCTION skull and the butcher can be found in the illustrated booklet of 'Day Of Reckoning'.
"The last man on earth that faces the end of the world, the concept of the album had to have the most evil base with a striking eye-catching look.
"We decided to not use the classical butcher theme on the cover front this time, 'cause this album needed a malicious look with symbols that express this strong title in the most bold and simple way.
"The story line will continue through the whole cover art and booklet. Gyula, a fantastic artist and metal fan from Hungary, was a great help for us with nailing down this concept. It's not the first time we worked with him; he illustrated all our latest releases! Like the band, he breathes, lives and understands the concept of a rather socially critical band like DESTRUCTION to the bone!"
"Day Of Reckoning" is the first album to feature DESTRUCTION's new drummer Vaaver .
Commented Schmier: "The new guy behind the drumkit, the hard-hitting but well-versed, six-foot-six-inch-tall animal Vaaver took his first album with us as a challenge: no other DESTRUCTION album has the fastness, the tightness and crazy doublebass and drum fills as the 'Day Of Reckoning'! That's for fuckin' sure!"

Pas mal ! Bien plus énervé que les dernières productions ; ce serait cool qu'ils sortent un album excellent, parce que depuis The Antichrist ils ont pondu que des trucs sympas mais anecdotiques.
Ce morceau me plaît bien en tout cas.
à part ca il paraît (d'après ce qu'on m'a dit) que ce nouvel album est vraiment excellent, bien mieux que leurs dernières productions apparemment ! je les ai en concert à nouvel an mais je peux pas dire si ils ont joués de nouveaux morceaux pour la simple et bonne raison que j'étais ivre mort
Bah ouais ils ont joué le single à Miami aussi y a un mois, difficile de juger
Viva, viva, viva the Blues / In Aztec land they will play like gods / Viva, viva, viva the blues / The sombreros will have eyes just for them / REMEMBER... =T=
German thrash metal veterans DESTRUCTION were honored with their own star in Quito, Ecuador yesterday (April 25). DESTRUCTION bassist/vocalist Schmier states, "Pretty fuckin cool to see they appreciate fuckin German metal high up here in the Andes mountains!!! It shows again: the Latin American metal scene is the best in the world! Thank you, motherfuckers, for your support!"
