German thrash giants, Destruction, mark 40 years of existence  by releasing a new album, Diabolical, out April 8 via Napalm Records. The band has released a video of the recording sessions

Destruction says:

“We have made a little clip with some impressions from the recording session of the new album at Little Creek Studio in Switzerland for you folks!”

Singer/bassist Schmier on the recording of Diabolical:

“This was the most fun we had working on a record in a very long time and you can hear that. Yes. it was theoretically a difficult album but we did not think this way while we recorded it. We just followed our emotions, jammed and rocked out with a strong gut feeling! This recording was like a therapy to me, we all know how difficult the times are at the moment. So I’m super happy how everything turned out!”

Guitar shredder Damir adds:

“It was a real honor for me to record this album. The studio work for Diabolical was very spontaneous and we had a lot of fun creating these dynamic, multifaceted and brutal but diverse songs. I loved every second working on this record!“

 

The new single and video, “No Faith in Humanity”, will be released in late February.

Destruction riff killer Furia about the new record:

“Diabolical is an album of extremes, everything is more brutal and more technical but at the same time more melodic and to the point. It’s a pure and devastating Destruction album with no gimmicks, full of power and adrenaline. I’m excited for what the future is bringing and can’t wait to play the new songs live!”
