Destruction announce new live album ‘Live Attack’

DESTRUCTION have announced a new live album!

Titled Live Attack, the upcoming live album from the German thrash metal icons captures January’s livestream and is scheduled to be released in August this year, making their label debut at new home Napalm Records.

The upcoming live album was filmed and recorded at the legendary Z7 venue in Pratteln, Switzerland. Speaking about the upcoming live release, the band says, “this show at our fave club, the Z7 in Switzerland, was a really special one in the middle of this dreadful pandemic! When we recorded it as a live stream on the 1st of January, it gave us hope back and connected us with the fans worldwide! Many supporters demanded to release it in physical form, so we had to make it happen. The setlist reflects four decades of DESTRUCTION with an almost two hour best-of setlist, which includes some really rare live tracks! It was for sure a night to remember… we hope you all enjoy it as much as we did!”

Alongside the announcement of the new live release, the band have shared a new live video from the upcoming live album; the classic Mad Butcher. Speaking about the song and its accompanying live video, bassist/vocalist Schmier says, “Mad Butcher is one of the first songs we ever wrote, such a classic! I still love to perform it live, it is in my DNA meanwhile, I guess! There are a lot of memories that come along with this track and the history of the band. We brought back the double-lead section from the EP version into the solo part; many fans have reacted at that during the live shows, which is really cool! But this DVD will also have some nice surprises, some songs we have not played live in decades!”
