RAINBOW “Rising” At 40: Interview With Schmier

Posted by aliblackdiamond on May 19, 2016

Continuing our 40th anniversary celebration week for the classic RAINBOW “Rising” album, we recently caught up with Schmier, frontman of German thrash legends DESTRUCTION.

Schmier Destruction 2016

DESTRUCTION have recently released their brutal new album “Under Attack”, which is going down a storm with thrash fans worldwide. Rock and metal has no boundaries and most of us appreciate and enjoy, or if not, at least respect the many different genres around these days. Times were different in so many ways back in 1976 when “Rising” was released, but the album has proudly stood up to the test of time, as Schmier agrees:

“I’m a kid of the seventies, I grew up of course on Rainbow. So Rainbow “Rising” was for me a total breakthrough record, 1976, I think I caught it a little bit later. I remember it was just amazing, it was Ronnie James Dio’s big album also.

This is just an all time classic, I think out of all the seventies records, Rainbow “Rising” is one of the most special ones because all the songs are so great, there’s such a great atmosphere on the album. The sound, even nowadays is still so warm and great and it’s also nothing against Ritchie Blackmore’s Deep Purple years, but I think it’s maybe Ritchie Blackmore’s best record.”

Legendary German thrashers DESTRUCTION, whose upcoming new studio album “Under Attack” will be released on May 13th, proudly present the official video clip for the title track.

Check it out here:

The partly animated clip was produced by Buntmetall (MOTÖRHEAD, SAXON, ANNIHILATOR, PANZER, CRIPPER and many more…) in April 2016.

The song ‘Under Attack’ is now also available as an instant grat track when you pre-order the album via iTunes or Amazon here.

Mastermind Schmier states:
“We keep on doing our thing. The track ‘Under Attack’ stands for classic DESTRUCTION trademarks and the video will sure provoke the outdated & the backseat drivers. But global unity can not be reached with conservative & naive religious beliefs of any kind! Dear cosmopolitans, please keep your urge for freedom alive – otherwise soon there will be NO more rock ‘n’ roll !”

DESTRUCTION will join forces with US-based thrash metal monsters FLOTSAM & JETSAM, Swedish metal maniacs ENFORCER and Brazil’s NERVOSA for a full European headlining tour this fall.

DESTRUCTION will join forces with US-based thrash metal monsters FLOTSAM & JETSAM, the Swedish metal maniacs ENFORCER and Brazil’s NERVOSA.

DESTRUCTION mastermind Schmier states:
“I`m totally thrilled that we got this amazing package together, when you go on tour you wanna give the fans the best they deserve:  NERVOSA – for me the best extreme female Metalband by far, ENFORCER are my fave Metal – outfit with this pure 80s touch and FLOTSAM and JETSAM are back stronger than ever, we are old mates, finally we will tour together again!  I can`t wait to see Thrashers and Metalheads united this autumn,  to party, mosh & bang with us – oh yes, sometimes it`s really great to be a Metalfan and play in a band – FUCK YEAH! See you ALL soon at the best party around!”

FLOTSAM & JETSAM comments:
“This tour is going to be an absolute thrash fest! Flotsam and Jetsam is honored to support the legendary Destruction, one of the strongest thrash bands to ever come out of Europe. We can’t think of anything better for this fall than getting back to our friends and fans in Europe for a month, hitting the stage and the streets with Schmier, Mike, and Vaaver, the Enforcer crew, and Fernanda and the women of Nervosa, night after night. If that doesn’t sound like trouble, we don’t know what does!”

ENFORCER adds:
“Extremely excited to take a break in our new album process to go out on another European tour with our childhood heroes in Destruction and Flotsam & Jetsam. 100% total metal madness guaranteed! Don’t miss out on the heaviest tour of the year.” 

NERVOSA says about the tour:
“This is gonna be a badass thrash tour! Destruction has always been a huge influence for us and now touring with them is gonna be a hell of a dream come true!”
