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!”

DESTRUCTION To Release “Thrash Anthems II” On November 10th

German thrash legends DESTRUCTION will release their new “Best of Old School” album “Thrash Anthems II” on November 10th via Nuclear Blast Records.

In 2007, DESTRUCTION proved how successful re-recording some of their timeless classics and reimagining history could be. The follow-up to 2007’s “Thrash Anthems” is ready to rock the metal world and shows how fans can be part of both a band’s history and future. For “Thrash Anthems II”, DESTRUCTION called upon on their loyal fans through PledgeMusic to help them create the record and contribute to the band’s epic history.

Mastermind Schmier states:
“As it is a part of our past to relaunch classic songs from our history with a fresh face and we had many demands on a »Thrash Anthems« continuation, we decided to do a second part of this re-animation of classic 80s DESTRUCTION material. For us it was important to chose the tracks with the fans and first when NB did not wanna do the album we decided to do a pledge campaign to raise the fonds for the production together with the die hards.

To make a long story short, we know not everybody will like these new versions of those thrash evergreens (just listen to the originals then) but it was an important task for us to keep them alive for a whole new generation of metalheads that love those fresh and brutal new recordings. We are very happy now, that our label is finally releasing this collection of thrash classics. The vibe on this record is so vicious, uncommercial and has this 80s feeling with a even more aggressive edge and THAT is was made our THRASH so special, in the good old days and now!”

DESTRUCTION Frontman Schmier: “It’s cheating fans to play backing tracks, If you cannot do it live, don’t do it”

Schmier Destruction 2016

For Canada’s The Metal Voice former Anthrax singer Neil Turbin (Deathriders) interviewed DESTRUCTION Frontman Schmier in Los Angeles on June 11 2017.

Watch the interview here:

When asked about some lyrical themes off their New Album Under Attack
“One song is about the backing track situation in playing live, a lot of bands go out there and don’t play live anymore, they have backing track running through the vocals, through tape, it’s fake. It’s an important matter right now cause many fans don’t know this. Fans go to the show and say hey you were so great tonight but it was playback, it’s F**** cheating the fans to have playbacks, if you cannot do it live, don’t do it.”

When asked when they will begin writing and recording a new album
“We have learned last year that overworking new material is not good for the spirit and for the creativity, so we will start writing an album next year. We finish this tour, I think 2018 we start writing, then release 2019 or so, maybe earlier.”

When asked about giving advice to bands touring South America
“I think the most important thing is you need to trust promoters and you need all the money upfront. Bands go down there, they don’t get paid and they are stranded with no money, no flight tickets. The advice I can give is get your fees before you fly over or at least 50% of the money so you have something in your pocket to go back home.”
