Coming from Queensland, the band was founded in 2012. Of course, they have many influences from different sources, like American old bands Metallica, Megadeth, Dark Angel, Exodus, etc, but definitely, they know what they want and add personality to the whole concept.
Actually, all tracks have high musical skills as everything tied by technical structures here and there, and it denotes good taste in Metallic spirit. Also, guitar riffs and solos are amazing and it seems like Steve Lievesley is a die-hard fan of Marty Friedman, Dimebag Darrell, Kirk Hammett, etc. The guitar work is really good and knows how to create old school atmospheres in solid rhythm guitar bases.
The EP starts with a fast-paced song “Broken Trust” chugging along with a touch of Punk, reminiscent of similar age-old bands mostly from Crossover/Thrash genre, though Deraign isn’t technically Crossover. “Shellshocked (PTSD)” keeps the high tempo going, but brings in riffs that were unheard before and along with the fast paced drumbeats, makes the song chaotic. “Pit of Misery” is one of the intimidating songs due to sheer anthemic powerful effect the song creates. It sure has potential to be the trademark song of the band’s live setlist. “All is Lost” is a song that brings in new and innovative riffs, though not really anything that could get me excited. The EP ends with a 7 min song in the juicily named “Purity in Violence”, which starts of excellently in a regular Thrash sound. Very similar to the previous songs and still managing to offer something new and heavy, but half way through, the song turns into a total melody and is almost an instrumental from there - boys blast some sharp lead guitar solos besides the melodic guitar work and drum beats, before ending the song in a high tempo, heavy sound.
All in all, this is a good debut EP, very well balanced and with strong musical elements. It’s highly recommended for those who stay apart from newest Thrash Metal wave, but still enjoy the genre!!

The fourth full-length studio album by Greek Extreme Power/Thrash Metal band.
These nine songs are a culmination of everything the band draws inspiration from. No longer a bridge between their various influences but a destination reached - Power/Thrash Metal amalgam carved with Death/Black Metal tools!
The album's lyrics speaks of how fire and stars, literally and metaphorically, have always fuelled human imagination for “good and bad”. Because through the ages men looked at the stars, those actual “fires in the skies”, and everyone found something different: gods, devils, angels, heavens or hells, aliens or ancient humans, our past and our future… And all these found their way in our lives through religion, science and art. Through them, stars left their mark in our history and, in many ways, their fire became a beacon for our future.
“Of Fire And Stars” highly recommended for fans of bands like Blind Guardian, Kreator and Iced Earth, as well as fans of all Extreme Metal styles!!

The third full-length album by Greek Extreme Metal band.
The album features band's most extreme approach musically and acts as a bridge between their mid 90s Power/Thrash Metal influences and the most Extreme elements of today's Metal.
The unique nature of this album is that it doesn't fit in any genre exclusively, it stands on many worlds and doesn't serve under one banner. It combines epic and dramatic musical structures with ultra-fast drumming and aggressive vocals in order to bring the story behind the lyrics to life.
Because "Theater Of War" is a concept album, it is the final chapter of the trilogy the band began to unfold with their debut album. It's a story about absolutes and how they enslave people with their blinding light. The story of "a chosen one" who chooses to be an example and not a messiah, to become a "mortal sun" whose light guides and not only blinds.
For fans of Blind Guardian, Kreator and Iced Earth, as well as fans of all Extreme Metal styles! Also Recommended for every one who sees the last 25 years of Metal as a whole entity!!

DESHODY “Collapsing Colors” /CD/
- Product Code: SGCD068
-
€ 4.90
- Price in bonus-scraps: 49
Deshody features a lot of aggressive playing and even more aggressive vocals. Their debut album “Collapsing Colors” gives us a taste of their heavy sound.
Opening with “Losing Control”, you pretty much get the idea of the band’s sound right away; heavy, down-tuned guitars, in-your-face growling vocals, and lots of breakdowns. What is somewhat interesting as that the band stays heavy throughout, whereas usually the Core genre tends to have clean choruses. This does set them apart a bit from the usual crowd. There are melodic moments but they are approached in a much heavier way than you would always expect.
The band soldiers onwards through tracks like “Calypso” which has some more Groove Metal aspects to it and also has a very crazy sounding outro, and “Harpooned to the Ground” which has some riffs worth some merit with a cool sound that isn’t simply chugging, and some almost Crossover/Thrash style vocalization.
The band pretty much sticks to its heavy sound, sometimes throwing in some atmospheric and electronic moments like in “History of a Legion”, and some more melodic moments interspersed throughout the album. There are some pretty cool solos on the track “Code”. The album finishes with “Reflecting on the Way” which slows things down a bit but is still plenty heavy, with some cool riffs on the chorus itself. This is a good finish to the album.
The production is nice and professional, plenty of heaviness and pretty much industry standard as far as the genre goes; better than the average band in this style.
This is a solid album for fans of Thrashcore, with plenty of melodic. Still, it’s a debut album, so with their second we may well see some serious development and experimentation!

Formed by upcoming former of Century Media Records, Robert Kampf, and including in lineup so cult person as multi-instrumentalist and producer Waldemar Sorychta, Despair for sure can be named as one of the cult Old School Thrash Metal band.
Only active from 1986 to 1993, Despair brought their own version of high speed Technical Thrash Metal which brought two demos, two EPs and three full-length records, though a short run the band is still recognized as an inspiration to many bands as well as being a band favored by the Underground.
"Decay Of Humanity" was not exactly a vast improvement over Despair's debut but at least it showed some hints of progress even slightly. The better production makes this album sound heavier than its predecessor and the songwriting is somewhat more streamlined, thus resulting in a bit more listenable output. The tracks flow rather effortlessly throughout the album.
The first few tracks of the record will give the listener a great understanding as to what we can expect from the rest of the record, but at the same time bringing us into a world of technical riffs, which wrap so perfectly around the ears. This can certainly be said for the first track entitled "Decay Of Humanity" as we see the band use some smooth and very tight riffs mixed with a fantastic sound quality which compliments vocalist Andreas Henschel's voice perfectly while keeping every instrument in perfect match with one another. With the third track, "Delusion", we get a very strange mixture of sounds and styles, which for this record work perfectly giving something different for each song and a different experience for the listener in general. Though it can be said that the band have some really out there ideas when it came to creating these songs as there seems to be this pleasant weirdness, which can be admired by any guitar fan.
As we venture onward to the next track entitled "Victims Of Vanity", we start slower then the previous few tracks while at the same time building towards a larger scale sound which goes a bit chaotic in a good way show casing some very sinister riffs mixed with a hint of madness, but really this is what makes this track work and makes it stand out as with this track there is a lot more to observe and also learn from.
The record's main focus seems to be to be something different, but to also keep it as familiar as possible while adding new ideas which have a different vibe and forceful approach. This is accomplished through insane guitar and bass work to which complement the drum work of Markus Freiwald. And we go through this record the main thing that stands out is the guitar work of Marek Grzeszek and Waldemar Sorychta which a perfect combination of harmonies and ideas brought to life in the most perfect way.
This CD would be a gem for every Thrash Metal culture collector and maybe yours too!

It is compelling and dynamic album with varied compositions. Great riffs, moods, technical skill but most impressing is the vocal performance from Florian Reimann.

With their third album Deströyer 666 continued their steep climb in the favour of fans and critics alike. The still sound pretty good. The drums are accurate, the guitars are similarly unimpressive. Each instrument is clearly audible and nothing seems to dominate, which allows the music to be heard for what it is.
The Australian warmongers were received with praise like “Hail and kill indeed” in a 9/10 review from Terrorizer UK or described like “Deströyer 666 offer the best of their Black/Thrash know-how, refined with the usual Australian vice” in Rock Hard France (8/10). With time its impact even grew as Encyclopaedia Metallum now awards this album a 100% review twice, while saying: “Cold Steel is pretty much a perfect album. It is fast, intense, and aggressive and most of all, incredibly infectious”! Now this modern classic was re-released in an irresistible package.
Deströyer 666's 2002 album gets the reissue treatment just in time for its tenth anniversary. Re-edition contains new artwork, liner notes and bonus track "The Dragon". "The Dragon" was first recorded for the album's original release, but was never included on the finished product. The song was also featured on Season of Mist's "Apocalypse: Livre 66, Chapitre Premier" compilation as an untitled track.
This is clearly a must have for all Deströyer 666 fans!!!

Battalion Deströyer 666 has had their 2000 full-length regarded as one of the Black Metal genre's best records of all time by Decibel Magazine. The album appears in Decibel's new special issue focusing on the "Top 100 Black Metal Albums Of All Time".
With the release of their second album “Phoenix Rising” Deströyer 666 reached a new dimension. Terrorizer (UK) saw the Australian warriors enter “a new phase that mixes the best of old school barbarity with quality songwriting”. Dutch magazine Aardschok chimed into this praise by giving 90/100 points with many critics following suit. Yet time proved to be the real test for “Phoenix Rising” and the album passed this challenge with flying colours as it continued to sell since its original release late 2000. Due to popular demand and persistent interest “Phoenix Rising” will now re-released in a carefully remastered edition.
The band's sophomore thunder slab, "Phoenix Rising" is f*****g stuffed with fret-burning rippers. From the massive title track and crushing battle epic "I am the Wargod" to the vicious "Lone Wolf Winter" and Amon Amarth-ish "Ride the Solar Winds" K.K. Warslut and his band deliver nothing short of a Black Metal masterpiece!!
A remastered re-issue contains new artwork and liner notes.

Destruction has become an international thrash metal quartet with members from Germany, Switzerland, Canada and Argentina that has been going through ups and downs for forty-two remarkable years.
Released with the Legacy Magazine #154 (01/2025), this is an EP for the forthcoming “Birth Of Malice” album. The EP includes one track from an album, three cover songs, and one live track.
Opening song "No Kings - No Masters" is a ferocious Thrash Metal song with energetic guitar riffs, dominant bass guitar sounds and versatile drum play that offer a solid backbone for the rough lead vocals that still give this legendary band a unique charm from the Underground. This energetic tune is so infectious that genre fans should already be convinced to listen to the upcoming full-length record.
What follows, are three cover songs of German Heavy Metal legends Accept, American Thrash Metal icons Metallica and British Rock 'n' Roll sensation Motörhead. Destruction has managed to make all three songs sound like their very own. They are aggressive, fast, rough and best enjoyed in concert. Despite all the anger, frustration and liberation felt in these performances, Destruction still oozes with great fun as it becomes obvious to listeners that the chemistry in this band is excellent and that its four members really enjoy playing together as well.
Closing tune, "Nailed To The Cross", has been recorded live and underlines the quartet's excellent quality at concerts and festivals. The great thing about Destruction is that its live performances convincingly equal the quality of the studio efforts and at times even outclass them. This particular song is performed with grit, joy and relentlessness. If you ever have the chance to attend one of the band's shows, don't hesitate to buy a ticket.
Musthave for every Thrash Metal classic collector!

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!!

Back in the beginning of the nineties, things weren’t that rosy in the already then legendary Destruction. It ended up with bassist/vocalist Schmier being kicked out of the band and replaced with Poltergeist screamer André Greider, who did a great job on the quite rocking “Cracked Brain” album. Then André was replaced by Ephemera’s Party vocalist Thomas Rosenmerkel on the quite off the wall album “The Least Successful Human Cannonball”. That didn’t really work out in any way… When Schmier returned to Destruciton in 1999, together with drummer Sven Vormann, 3 demo tracks were recorded under the slashing name "The Butcher Strikes Back", giving the band a new label deal. The demo paid off, the band got signed by Nuclear Blast, which marked Destruction back on track as the one of the kings of the Teutonic Four. And Destruction was finally back!
These demo tracks, together with some Japan bonus tracks, and Wacken live tracks were released in autumn 2022 on CD, LP and MC.
Tracks 1-3: "The Butcher Strikes Back" promotional demo 1999.
