Debut album from 1985 by the German DESTRUCTION, one of the fundamental works of European Thrash Metal and one of the albums that helped define the sound of the legendary German scene of the 1980s. “Infernal Overkill” captures the band at its most savage and primitive stage, combining speed, aggression and a dark atmosphere that already hinted at more extreme directions.
With a raw yet effective production, razor-sharp riffs and overflowing energy, the album finds DESTRUCTION laying the foundations of a style that would deeply influence future generations of Thrash and Death Metal bands. An essential classic of European extreme Metal and a key release for understanding the birth of German Thrash Metal.
Recommended for fans of SODOM, KREATOR, DARK ANGEL and EXODUS. [Slipcase]
