Destruction unleash “Scumbag Human Race” video

German thrashers Destruction have unleashed a video for their latest single, “Scumbag Human Race.” The track is the third single taken from their upcoming sixteenth album, Birth of Malice, set for release on March 7, via Napalm Records.

In addition to the album, the band will premiere their official documentary, The Art of Destruction, on March 6 in Berlin. The film, shot over five years, captures Destruction’s journey including their attempt to reunite the Teutonic 4. The premiere will feature the band and filmmakers in attendance. Tickets for the upcoming film premiere are available at this location.

Destruction on “Scumbag Human Race:”

“Single number three, ‘Scumbag Human Race’, is a mercyless steamhammer of a track! Its relentless groove and energy are pushing you straight forward into the moshpit! This will be an intense live track and that riff can melt faces! The lyrics are metaphorically speaking: how would this planet call us if it could talk? And what would it tell us? Right …wake the fuck up … SCUMBAG HUMAN RACE!!!!“

Denise Dörner comments on the upcoming film:

“This documentary is not a cheerful music clip, but a very serious story about passion and life. I could never have imagined in my wildest dreams that our idea could be realized so well, even if everything was completely thrown into disarray by the circumstances. I was allowed to look behind the scenes, travel with DESTRUCTION and empathize with them. I met my idols and many interesting people and also felt the full range of emotions. I’m very excited to see what people will think and feel about this journey.”

Ilija Jelusic adds:

“As a film team, we had a really good connection with Schmier and DESTRUCTION, who had a lot of trust in us. The film was made without a commission and without film funding. That means we had to finance everything ourselves, which also contained a big risk.

During the pandemic, none of us knew what would happen next and where the story of the film would go. Of course, it was a very moving time for us filmmakers as well. And then one adventure followed the next and suddenly we were off to Mexico. I am deeply grateful for the experiences we were able to gain through DESTRUCTION!”
