Destruction release new song ‘Born To Perish’

DESTRUCTION have released a brand new song!

The new song, titled Born To Perish, is taken from the band’s upcoming seventeenth album of the same name which is scheduled to be released in August this year.

Speaking about the new song, frontman Schmier says, “the title track was the first song we wrote for the new record and it definitely shows the strength that DESTRUCTION has in 2019. It immediately set the bar high for the rest of the album. It features everything that we stand for: speed, picking, variety and punch. Randy came up with some very cool drum patterns and Damir offered up a really crunchy solo part, so both new members are heavily involved here!” Guitarist Mike adds, “we started the song with some drum patterns that Randy gave us and adjusted some riff ideas we had. It was a nice challenge to write some tight right hand picking for a 212 beats per minute song. As a guitar player this is close to my speed limit, especially on the triplets – great fun to play though!”
