Destruction - Thrash Anthems (Candlelight Records)
A favorer of Thrash Metal I am, and let me tell you that "Thrash Anthems"
simply dominates. Still kicking ass at their age these German thrashers
compiled an awesome "Best Of" CD. With modern recording makes this release
that much more dominating. In the past I'd have to conclude that their
recordings were production-wise way under par ("Infernal Overkill" and
"Eternal Devastation/Mad Butcher") are prime examples of this.
Mike on guitars tunes down I think to D-tuning previously everything was
pretty much in standard tuning. This makes the recording sound much heavier.
Schmier once again as Frontman/Bassist and Marc on Drums/Backing Vocals. If
you liked "Inventor Of Evil" then "Thrash Anthems" is definitely for you!
There are 2 new tracks ("Profanity" & "Depostition") that kick ass! If you
are a fan of previous Destruction releases don't miss out on some great
re-recordings here. Mike on guitars adds a little variety to each
re-recorded song they aren't exactly as they were played on previous
releases he fine tunes them but still bad ass!
Schmier's vocal onslaught is much more like the older releases. . Very
unique and kick ass with Marc also helping but on this department. Over 70
minutes of killer Thrash Metal!!! Don't miss out pick up "Thrash Anthems"
ASAP!
Rating: 9.5/10.
