On April 8th, DESTRUCTION’s 40th anniversary full-length, “Diabolical”, was released through Napalm Records. A few days ago the band dropped an official video for new single “Repent Your Sins”.
DESTRUCTION singer/bassist SCHMIER commented about the video: “The music and the song itself, shows the more groovy part of the new record, I love the diminished riff and the way Randy grinds the beat into your head! This will be an awesome LIVE track for sure! The lyrics of “Repent dour Sins” are about the history of abuse in the catholic church! A rather tragic and sad part of human history, that is still covered by our governments. It seems the laws that count for all of us, do not apply for servants of the church. UNREAL INJUSTICE!“
The video itself tries to show the soul torment of the culprit. To live with your dirty deeds but pray about love and kindness can not be justified and needs to be accused, named, remembered and wiped out!”
DESTRUCTION guitarist Martin Furia states about the new record: “ ‘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.”
