Here’s what DESTRUCTION front man SCHMIER has to say:

“We are excited to announce, that our MANDOLIN streaming ticket is on sale now. Also MERCH FACTORY has two exclusive event shirts and a merch bundle ready for you. We are all new to this. At the moment an event like this is the only thing that can keep the flame burning, that gives us hope, keeps us busy and entertained and can hopefully help us to survive this crisis that paralyzed our industry and profession. 

The show itself will be filmed at the Z7, the Swiss premier concert temple in Pratteln. We will deliver you an “over the top” concert, a once in a life time event, with extra length, special setlist, some surprises and the full headliner production with top notch picture and sound quality!

THANK YOU for being a part of this. Your support is the key for any of our future projects, we really appreciate to have such loyal fans all over the world! Hopefully see you all in the near future in person at a real live concert again, cause we all know nothing can beat the tension, the energy, the power and the experience of an attended live gig! UNITED WE STAND!!!

Enjoy the event and stay healthy and sane!”

Germany’s cult thrash metallers DESTRUCTION are forced to cancelled their “THRASH ALLIANCE“ WINTER TOUR, the band has issued the following announcement:

“THRASH ALLIANCE“ WINTER TOUR CANCELLED!
This cancellation is of course no surprise but still it is a very sad ending of a tough year for all of us. Hope dies last they say, right? We tried to wait and talk to all people involved about the possible ways to save at least parts of the run, but it really was not do-able. The circumstances for a whole tour are not granted at this point.

Several EU countries are flagged meanwhile because of too high Corona numbers. One of the bitter facts are that WARBRINGER and most likely CRISIX cannot leave their countries and our governments are giving us no chance to plan a new run because of updated rules that occur every week, looking into something new at this point internationally is impossible!

Many countries are preparing a lockdown or tighten up the rules for events. We all know what a mess COVID 19 has brought to the live music industry – a whole tour through different countries, with an international line up, is simply absurd (under these circumstances) at the moment!

Nevertheless DESTRUCTION will try to play socially distanced concerts in the future, the package with the awesome BURNING WITCHES has worked great the last weeks and we want to try to book more shows together. Interested promoters please contact our agency DOOMSTAR: bruno@doomstarbookings.com. Fans can also help to spread the news, share the interest and forward interested promoters to our agency! Thanks a lot for your support – UNITED WE STAND!

Almost two weeks ago, German thrash titans DESTRUCTION set their mark and ended the concert break due to Covid-19 with two impressive liveshows in front of 300 people each in legendary Z7  with a capacity of 1600 people in Pratteln. Both shows were sold-out and highly lauded by audience and the whole music business. The band captured the moment and decided to release this testimony of a memorable step on the music business’ path back to normality as aftermovie.

Check out the video here:

Schmier states:
“I am very glad that our film-team could capture those moments, the first shows after the loosening of the rules in Switzerland for concerts, were for sure a special moment for all of us.
The fans did a very good job and the social distancing worked pretty well. For sure much better than in the supermarket or on public transport these days. We all felt safe & sound and sure you can not completely avoid contact but you can use your common sense.
The precautions and government rules have been implemented well and that was important for everybody involved!
It will still be very challenging to bring concerts back into our lives.  If masks will be a part of that future or other precautions, will the next weeks show. It is important to take the new challenges and try – instead of doing nothing and just accepting the situation of no shows!
 DESTRUCTION will continue this path and play a social distancing Open Air close to Berlin in August. A concept that works for a while in Germany and now this now the first METAL show in that format. 
Thanks for all the support & stay healthy and aware!”

DESTRUCTION released the digital version of “Born To Thrash – Live In Germany” this May, 8th.
