German Thrash Metal veterans DESTRUCTION will release their 16th studio album, “Birth Of Malice”, on March 7, 2025 via Napalm Records.

DESTRUCTION founder Schmier once again combines his dual vocal/bass attack with crashing riffs from dual battle axe masters Martin Furia and Damir Eskić, while Randy Black blasts his drums to new heights. As witnessed on their previous thrash fest “Diabolical” (2022),DESTRUCTION return with their uniquely raw and brutal sound, delivering merciless songs with a touch more variety and groove this time. All 12 songs straight from the butchers hit with a direct, clean sound — resulting in addictive metal anthems for the next generation of thrashers.

Now the crushing new single “Destruction” has been released and as it’s named after the band, it contains everything DESTRUCTION is revered for. This thrash anthem reflects on the band’s legacy, fueled by razor-sharp riffs and Schmier’s relentless vocals. With lyrics celebrating their outcast origins and unbreakable metal spirit, “Destruction” is a tribute to over 40 years of thrash dominance.

Schmier comments on DESTRUCTION’s self titled single:

“The crushing song ‘Destruction’ is the perfect opener for this album: it builds a bridge between our old-school sound and riffing, including song title phrases from classic DESTRUCTION tracks and more shredding and melodic twin lead guitars, that will pinch your brain with its razor-sharp leads! The message ‘we are DESTRUCTION’ unites us with our fans worldwide and manifests the bond we have together! I see this track in the tradition of a cult song like ‘Curse The Gods’ in the way it is composed — a thrash metal rollercoaster ride galore!”
