German thrash metal legends DESTRUCTION are pleased to officially welcome Randy Black (Annihilator, Primal Fear) into the fold, after a gruelling probation that involved an extensive  tour and many shows around the globe.

Randy will make his official debut as the band’s new drummer at the Wacken-Open-Air on August 3rd, 2018.

Randy Black 2018

Mastermind Schmier states:
“Many years ago, when Randy was still with PRIMAL FEAR and we were looking for a drummer, it was the first time we talked about DESTRUCTIONs open drummer seat. But we did not wanna approach them at that time because of his obligation with good friends. Some years later he filled in for VAAVER on the American Tour with SEPULTURA because Vaaver became a father again at that time. So it was obvious for me, to pass the baton to Randy first this time. And he blew us all away with his tight, groovy and over the top drumming. He’s also a very cool Canadian lad that lives in Germany for many years now – so it was a perfect match right away! Hell-come on board buddy!”

Guitar player Mike adds:
“It´s  surely not easy to replace an outstanding drummer like VAAVER !!!
But the Show must go on, and RANDY kicks in like a motherfucker…
solid , groovy, heavy, humble….He´s on fire !!!
Get prepared my friends …”

And the new DESTRUCTION drummer Randy commented:
“After a recent successful tour of Asia, Australia and a handful of great festival shows I’m very happy to announce my position as the new drummer for the Thrash Metal Legends DESTRUCTION!
35 years running! Try to wrap your head around that!
I’m looking forward to continuing the Destruction legacy together with Schmier and Mike including plans of recording a kick ass new CD and touring the planet.
I’m chomping at the bit to get out there and Thrash for all you crazy Metal heads on the road soon!“

Legendary New Jersey thrashers, OVERKILL, released their latest live album titled “Live In Overhausen”, on May 18th, 2018 through Nuclear Blast.

Today, the band are pleased to announce an extended European tour for March 2019 in support of their upcoming, untitled new studio album. OVERKILL will be joining forces with the German cult thrash metal band and label mates DESTRUCTION, legendary thrash metallers FLOTSAM & JETSAM and up and coming Australian thrash squad MESHIAAK for the “KILLFEST TOUR 2019” .

Overkill Killfest Tour 2019
Commented OVERKILL vocalist Bobby Blitz:
“ONE MORE FUCKING TIME! Let the the shit fall away and the metal rule the day. Overkill comes to Europe in march 2019 on the release of the new album. So get your necks ready boys and girls, it’s going to be dangerous!”

Schmier from DESTRUCTION adds:
“Touring with some of the most influential American Thrash icons is always a pleasure. We became good friends over all those years, I’m happy we are ALL still around and we can thrash Europe together. Also some of the Australian boys from MESHIAAK have toured with us Down Under before with their predecessor band 4 ARM. What an intense family-reunion…hahaha!
This is undoubtedly a killer package for the enthusiastic European metal fans for sure – we will present DESTRUCTION in fantastic form and with a terrific new drummer! “

German Female fronted thrash metal act DYING GORGEOUS LIES just recently joined the German Thrash titans DESTRUCTION, as Main Support, on their shows in Saint Petersburg and Moscow. See photos and read below the band’s recap of the shows.

“Together with our brothers from Destruction we brought teutonic thrash inferno over Russia in February. We visited St. Petersburg and Moscow and had an incredible great time. Though the temperatures and the snow were kind of creepy, everything worked out great, including the high-speed train from Petersburg to Moscow and all the organisational stuff.
Once more we have to emphasize the Russian hospitality. It’s incredible how good the Russian people treat their guests, they made us feel at home from second one. We met many old fans and friends that already saw our shows 2 years ago as we toured Russia with Suicidal Angels. And of course we made many new friends during these shows. What more can we say? DGL love Russia and we left with the promise of a soon return 🙂 “

DESTRUCTION have issued, via their Official Facebook Page, that their drummer Vaaver will leave the band in March:

“It is an odd and sad headline in the same time: our drummer VAAVER will leave us because of family reasons this march.

After eight years this is bad news but we are still friends and wish him and his family all the best! He will release a statement ASAP!

Most important: ALL shows will go ahead. Vaaver will play with us till this March. So give him a nice goodbye please!

Mr.Randy Black who already replaced him on his baby-break, will step in for the shows after March, until we decided who will be his worthy successor.

Now we have almost beaten SPINAL TAP right?

Good thing – no farewell tour yet! 😛 UNITED WE STAND, cheers for all the years VAAVER!”
