Formed in 1982, Destruction is considered one of the three kings of German
thrash metal, along with Kreator and Sodom. This honorary title, and the
presence of death metal elements in their music, is not enough to make
Destruction a master of the genre. Indeed, since 1985 and their debut album
Infernal Overkill, Destruction have not been credited with any major
breakthroughs. After a long hiatus between 1990 and 1999, Destruction returned
to business, remaining faithful to a style that can best be described as basic.
