Destruction has updated news about their upcoming "best of" album "Thrash Anthems!":
Recorded at "House of Music" Studio (Germany) and "Little Creek Studio" (Switzerland) with almost the same team as on the "Inventor of Evil" recording session, featuring our live sound engineers Gerd Krenz, Franky Winkelmann and Gurd/Poltergeist Mastermind VO Pulver.
The tracks will be mixed by one of the best Metal Producers in europe: Jacob Hansen, the danish producer/Invocator singer and guitarist.
This means the band has been working in three different countries again: Germany - Switzerland - Denmark!
Schmier:
The intension of this album was to give the old classics - many of them still being a big part of our live programm - some fresh energy and the aggressive production of today, without losing the "oldschool" atmosphere.
Some of the old recordings have a rather poor sound and we didn´t wanna do another "Best of " album with those (old recordings) cause it has been done before and won´t be exiting at all. But after more than 17 years it was time for another "Best of album"!
This album will feature 13 classics of the pre-reunion era (84-90). Some of those songs we haven´t played in ages, and the fans have been demanding them in our live set for a long time too
From the dark/punky/thrashy early days to the later technical periods featuring songs from the albums "Release from agony" and "Cracked Brain" (a song that was never before released with Schmiers vocals!)
As a matter of fact, the aggression and the tightness of the band of today, together with a crystal clear "in your face" production, creates an oldschool Thrash Metal devastation, that will give true satisfaction to both: fans of old and new Thrash Metal.
This unique combination of songs has never been released as a compilation before.
As a special bonus there will be two brandnew songs on this 70 minutes plus masterpiece, "Deposition (your heads will roll)" and "Profanity", which the band wrote after returning from their North America tour!
