Author Jad - 17.12.2021

Germany’s Destruction have announced that they’ll release their fifteenth studio album, “Diabolical”, on April 8 via Napalm Records.

This will mark the band’s first album since parting ways with Mike Sifringer, their guitarist of 39 years, in August.

You can check out the title track for “Diabolical” via the music video below:

I love the title track of the new record, it represents the album, pure old school and in your face Thrash Metal! We wanted a video that shows our trademarks, so the MAD BUTCHER had to be there! It is only his second appearance in a Destruction video ever but his most remarkable one so far for sure!

Destruction singer/bassist Schmear about the clip

“Diabolical” is an album of extremes, everything is more brutal and more technical but at the same time more melodic and to the point. It’s a pure and devastating Destruction album with no gimmicks, full of power and adrenaline. I’m excited for what the future is bringing and can’t wait to play the new songs live!

The band’s newest member, guitarist Martin Furia

“Diabolical” will be available in various formats in different territories, including a digital album and CD (bundled with a t-shirt + an exclusive “Mad Butcher”-bust), 1LP gatefold editions in black, crystal clear, marbled yellow/red and silver. Pre-Order “Diabolical” here.
