Destruction No Kings No Masters CD Review

December 15, 2024

In anticipation of their forthcoming album, 'Birth of Malice', German thrash metal legends Destruction released their single 'No Kings - No Masters' to whet the appetite of their diehard legions. This 12" vinyl single consists of two songs, the title track and a cover of the classic Accept track "Fast As a Shark".


"No Kings - No Masters" picks up where 'Diabolical' left off, but feels slightly different. It feels more inspired. More aggressive. Marcel sounds as good as he ever has and the band sounds as tight and technically proficient as anyone could want. I'm trying to keep my expectations in check, but if the rest of 'Birth of Malice' sounds anything like what we have here, it will be a standout release of 2025.
