Background information about 'Release from Agony'

Destruction's "Release from Agony" stands as one of the most devastating entries in the German thrash metal pantheon, showcasing the band's relentless assault on conventional songwriting. Originally unleashed in 1987, this album captures the raw fury and technical prowess that made Destruction pioneers of the Teutonic thrash movement alongside Kreator and Sodom. The record demonstrates their evolution from pure speed metal chaos into more sophisticated yet equally brutal compositions, with tracks that blend lightning-fast riffing with memorable hooks that'll have you banging your head until dawn.

This remastered edition brings new life to classics like "Release from Agony" and "Dissatisfied Existence", where Marcel "Schmier" Schirmer's distinctive vocals cut through the mix like a chainsaw through concrete. The production enhancement allows every crushing guitar tone and thunderous drum hit to shine while maintaining the album's original underground spirit. Patrick W. Engel's remastering work at Temple of Disharmony ensures that both longtime fans and newcomers can experience the full impact of Destruction's songwriting genius in all its vinyl glory.

For fans of:
Kreator, Sodom, Exodus, Dark Angel, Tankard and Violent Force
