"Born To Perish" to pierwszy od wielu lat album Destruction zarejestrowany z udziałem drugiego gitarzysty. Na krążku usłyszymy również nowego bębniarza, znanego w metalowych kręgach, Randy'ego Blacka. Krążek zadowoli wszystkich fanów energicznego, thrashowego grania, a poszerzenie składu o gitarzystę Damira zaowocowało całą masą solówkowych pojedynków. Materiał dla thrash metalowych ortodoksów!
Born to perish? This does not apply to the Thrash Metal legend DESTRUCTION even though their new album "Born To Perish" will create a furor on August 9th. The brandnew line-up featuring the Canadian drum animal Randy Black and Swiss shred-master Damir Eskic, together with veterans Schmier and Mike, is here to bring you musical destruction. This is a new chapter in the long history of the band. The recordings for "Born To Perish" took place from January to March 2019 in the Little Creek Studio in Switzerland under the aegis of long time intimate VO Pulver. "We have browbeaten ourselves once again because we wanted to finish the recordings before we hit the road with Overkill in Europe", Schmier laughs. The result proves him right. Within a few seconds, "Born To Perish" is identified as a DESTRUCTION album, but there are also a couple of experiments thinking out of the box. Especially the guitar work has developed. "We have two guitarists in the band now which wouldn't make sense if the people couldn't hear it. Our goal was to raise massive walls of guitars. And I think we succeeded." "Born To Perish" starts straight in your face with the title song - without an intro or any frippery. This is classical Thrash Metal like the following bone breaking 'Inspired By Death', the heavy but catchy tune 'Betrayal' or the raised middle finger 'Rotten'. Since DESTRUCTION was founded in 1982, they never lost their aggressiveness. On the second part of the album there are some surprises like 'Butchered For Life' starting like a rock ballade and ending up as a real Thrash Metal monster. In 'Fatal Flight 17', outstanding with its exceptional riffing, Schmier tells a personal story and pays tribute to his old hero Gary Moore at once. Lyricwise, "Born To Perish" is a statement against politicians being power-hungry, senseless hate, and all the world's madness. Schmier explains: "The vulture on the cover is something like an "anti-eagle" that symbolizes the insatiable greed of people. I always wonder what drives these people: wealthy people want to be millionaires, millionaires want to be billionaires, and so on. This seems to be an endless spiral."
