Destruction - Album Release 2012

Destruction-Spiritual Gxncdx - Strong title for the newly released album. The cover features The Butcher which was originally introduced on the ep "The Mad Butcher" from the year 1987. The new CD comes almost a year and a half since the release of "Day of Reckoning" in February 2011. 

The album has been released through Nuclear Blast Records and includes only three members: Mike on guitars, Schmier on vocals and bass, and Vaaver on drums. Gerre and Tom Angelripper provide additional vocals, while Harry Heinrich Wilkens and Olly Kaiser contribute additional guitar solos and drums, respectively. The album also includes bonus tracks on the digipack version, including "Princess of the Night" and an alternative version of Carnivore.

The album cover is filled with various elements, including surveillance cameras and a serpent-like creature in the background, which creates a rather ambitious design. The toxic green color of the cover gives off a sense of pollution or chemical spill. As people listen to the songs and decipher the lyrics, they will likely comprehend the meaning behind Gyula's artwork. Additionally, the track "Legacy of The Past" showcases the talented voices of Andreas "Gerre" Geremia and Thomas "Angelripper" Such, while the limited edition digipack's "Carnivore" features Harry Wilkens and Oliver Kaiser. The album was produced by Andy Klassen at Gernhart studios in Troisdorf, Germany.

The track "Cyanide" from this album showcases the incredible drumming skills of Vaaver, providing a relentless assault on the senses right from the start. The production is top-notch and fans of Destruction will be thrilled to hear the evolution of their best music yet. 

This album features tracks like "Renegades", "City of Doom", "To Dust You Will Decay", and "Riot Squad" which full-throttle are bound to make it a valuable addition to your music collection. While there is a trailer video available on Youtube, it's just a teaser and leaves you wanting more. To truly experience the full throttle effect of this album, you'll want to purchase it and listen to it several times. Don't forget to check out the bonus digipack, which features a special guest appearance.

    I have to agree, the track leaves you wanting for more. I have not heard much about this band until this review. Not bad at all.

Exclusive interview with Spektrvm

Image
Greetings and please give a warm welcome to Spektrvm 1- Hello and welcome to Metal Music Midwest, first off, thanks for taking the time to do the interview, could you give our readers a brief description of the group? Where is the band from? The music of Greek metal group Spektrvm (pronounced ‘Spectrum’) spreads wide across the chromatic political, religious and many other themes. We are 5 different people, with 5 different musical tastes, and that always makes it interesting to see where the mix of ideas and styles will take us.   2- "Blood For Heaven" is the band's first full album, how long did it take to write? Ideas for the album had been forming since the early days it was formed back in 2016, but when we actually decided to write songs and create an almost concept album, the first half took about a year to form, and the other 5 songs, a little less than that. The songs were being tweaked up until the day of their final recording in 2020. Some changes were even made...

Was there a point early in you life that sparked your interest? Well… once I thought it would be a great idea to have some new profile pictures. So I went out to a cemetery with a good friend of mine to make some photographs. I soon recognized that it was great fun to pose and to “play” with the scenery. That’s why I’ve registered myself in a German model community and soon I got some offers for shootings. And here we are!   Model: Nox Misery- Make up & Styling: Nox Misery- Photographer: Maschka- © Nox Misery, Maschka 2- Your style is in underground, goth, and metal, was there an event or moment that made you decide on this style?
