Destruction - D.E.V.O.L.U.T.I.O.N (2008)

Country: Germany

Genre: Thrash Metal

Label: AFM Records

German machine! The country with the best thrash metal scene in Europe and maybe worldwide too, huge thrash metal bands have been coming out of there since the 80s. Destruction are one of them, and here's one of their relatively recent albums, which i got as a present from a friend 4 years ago. Im glad Destruction haven't been torn out by time (Schmier would not let that happen, everyone knows), they are still releasing fast and intense music for everyone's pleasure.

Cool fact about this release is that they have named the songs after the beginning letters of the word Devolution, so each letter stands for a song title. Lastly, the booklet art is amazing and pretty realistic, showing the results of a possible nuclear explosion. Thats why i gathered some pictures of the album and put them in the package.

Reckoning

From all the hills came screams. A piece of sky beside the crescent sun was detaching. It was a loosened circle of evening sky, suddenly lighted from the back. It was an abrupt black body out of nowhere; it was a flat disk; it was almost over the sun. That is when there were screams. At once this disk of sky slid over the sun like a lid. The sky snapped over the sun like a lens cover. The hatch in the brain slammed. Abruptly it was dark night, on the land and in the sky. In the night sky was a tiny ring of light. The hole where the sun belongs is very small. A thin ring of light marked its place. There was no sound. The eyes dried, the arteries drained, the lungs hushed. There was no world. We were the world’s dead people rotating and orbiting around and around, embedded in the planet’s crust, while the earth rolled down. Our minds were light-years distant, forgetful of almost everything.
