The ninth full-length album by legendary German Thrash Metal band.
Destruction returns with another fine slab of Thrash Metal!
Since the reunion, band has put out four albums. Some of these albums have been good and some not so. On "Inventor Of Evil" Destruction have released their finest album of the post-reunion era. There is no denying that Destruction is significant in today's Metal scene. Whether you are a Destruction fan old or new, you will find this a worthwhile release. "Inventor Of Evil" is one more time really basic and simple on a side but again this is so efficient damn that's great. A true and really Thrashy album in the pure spirit of Destruction: simple but without any doubt, sharping like a razor blade… killing riffs, a merciless blowing rhythm-section, aggressive vocals and clean singing, harsh and catchy in a good balanced way!
Guest vocalists for "The Alliance of Hellhoundz": Biff Byford (Saxon), Messiah Marcolin (Candlemass), Peter "Peavy" Wagner (Rage), Doro Pesch (Doro), Mark Osegueda (Death Angel), Shagrath (Dimmu Borgir), Paul Di'Anno (Rockfellas; ex-Iron Maiden), Peter Tagtgren (Hypocrisy, Pain), Bjorn "Speed" Strid (Soilwork).
This album is a good Destruction album and all the fans of the band will have to buy it if they don't want to miss something. "Inventor Of Evil" is for sure a classy album of German Thrash Metal!!
If you want Thrash - you’ve got it!!!

The eleventh full-length album by the legendary German Thrash Metal band.
Destruction was the most traditionalists of the big three German thrash bands: where Sodom and Kreator headed in a Punkier direction, frequently aiming for pure aggression at the expense of melody, Destruction always retained a classic Metal feel. They wanted audiences to mosh, but they also wanted to write songs with memorable choruses and heroic guitar solos. Band have continued to do that for over 25 years, with founding bassist/vocalist Marco Schirmer's (he left for a decade, but nobody likes to talk about those years) hoarse shriek the perfect counterpoint to the band's downtuned, percussive riffing. The first statements from the band are promising for the oldschool fans, a faster and turbulent album than the 2008's "D.E.V.O.L.U.T.I.O.N." that will go more 'back to the roots'. This album is an excellent example of 21st century Destruction, up there with early-2000s releases like "The Antichrist" and "Metal Discharge", and much better than, say, 2005's mediocre "Inventor Of Evil".
The songs have the churn of a truck in low gear, proceeding relentlessly uphill before the inevitable frantic, skidding slide down the other side.
The lyrics may not be all that memorable, but with track titles like "Hate Is My Fuel", "Armageddonizer", "Sheep of the Regime", "Sorcerer of Black Magic" and the like, you pretty much know what you're getting: a little bit of angry political ranting and a little bit of rote occultism, all set to Tribal-meets-Punk drumming and Grinding guitars.
Longtime fans of these guys will be very pleased that after nearly 30 years, they're every bit as powerful as they ever were!!

Limited Edition of the twelfth full-length album by legendary German Thrash Metal band.
Founded in 1982, Destruction have risen to the position of one of Germany’s most impressive Thrash Metal. On 24 August 2012 it was announced via Nuclear Blast website that Destruction had entered the studio to record their 13th album to celebrate their 30-year anniversary as a band. For this anniversary album band did a really great job. The new drummer "Vaaver" opens up new possibilities of the band. Band never been so fast, brutal and groovy before. When a combo is still able to write high-energy balls to the wall songs overflowing with power and joy of playing after all this time, one can justifiably bespeak it as an outstanding achievement!
When Rock Hard Germany calls the anniversary album "the most diversified Destruction record of the post-re-union phase", it doesn’t only reflect the overall press reception perfectly, which ecstatically sways between joy at the presented trademark aggression and surprise in view of the atmospherically grooving parts, but also takes the exact line that Schmier and his band mates had in mind. 
Moreover, old friends and companions paid the band a visit when they were occupying the Gernhart Studios in Troisdorf, Germany together with Extreme Metal experts Martin Buchwalter and Andy Classen: Evile's Ol Drake, Sodom’s Tom Angelripper and Tankard’s Gerre raised their hats to their Thrash brothers in the form of guest contributions, not to mention former members Harry Wilkens and Olly Kaiser at one of the bonus tracks!
"Spiritual Genocide" is a pretty damn entertaining kick in the chin, superior to Day Of Reckoning" and any of the band's other of last full-lengths!!
Limited Digibook Edition features two bonus-tracks and “Destruction 30th Years Anniversary” patch.
