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. The physical version of “Born To Thrash – Live In Germany” comes July, 17th, with a world map, the fans named the destination of their very first DESTRUCTION concert in a previously launched campaign. The album will be available within the digipak and vinyl-version in black, red, transparent and picture vinyl.

DESTRUCTION’s Schmier On Drive-in Shows: ‘No I am Not Playing To Cars, It Feels Wrong, I Don’t want to Rip off our fans’

Destruction-Schmier

Jimmy Kay from Canada’s The Metal Voice spoke to bassist Vocalist Schmier of the German Thrash band Destruction on June 16 2020 via Zoom. Schmier spoke about their new live album Born to Thrash, Drive-in concerts, Lockdown and band news.

Tell me about your new live album ‘Born to Thrash’
“The album was a spontaneous release, we did it because of Corona. It was important that we could bring out the album immediately, which we did with the streaming digital release. The physical takes time,  it takes up to 3 months to produce, vinyl nowadays and will be coming out in about 4 weeks from now. ”

Destruction is one of the first bands to play a social distancing show in Switzerland, tell me about this upcoming show and what will it be like
“I don’t know, this will be one of the first concert like this we have ever done. Actually there is a security outline from the government (Switzerland), you can only have a maximum of 40% of the capacity of the club. The club we are playing holds 1200 people but they will only allow 300 people so there will be enough space. This is the first trial of shows and we will see how it goes. We are the first international band that will play Switzerland, it will be weird, it will be different but we have to start at one point but it’s also exciting at the same time. ”

When asked his opinion about government allowing protesters on the streets in large numbers but not allowing bands to play in clubs
“I understand the need for people to protest but our whole industry is on hold for the last few months. Everyone has been sitting home for 3 months now and it feels wrong that thousands might go out there and spread the virus again. On the other hand some experts are saying we need the immunity of the masses (Herd Immunity), I guess slowly step by step we will get there.

“This is the first time something like this has happened and we try to take care of everyone in the world and I understand we had to take some cautions but maybe to lockdown for three months was a little long but on the other hand if thousands had been hospitalized all around the world at the same time it would have been total chaos. I think it is important that the our governments and the rich people are  helping the world to come back. We have to help each other now, it can only happen when those who have a lot give a little more of what they have to the people who are poor. That is the only concept that is going to work to bring the world back. The poor countries and the poorest people in the world will suffer hardest from this.”

Due to the Political and socials climate and inspiration will Destruction be writing new music 
“I am always inspired but at the moment I am not really inspired to write because we wrote and released a new album not so long ago (Born to Perish) However we will start writing this summer because we will be bored because we won’t have all these festivals to play this summer. I don’t see us having an album next year because all the bands are writing at the moment and there will be an overflow of Corona Records next year, Who is going to buy all this music? People won’t  have no more money. ”

What do you think about the concept of Drive-in Concerts
“No No No I am not playing for cars, it feels wrong, if this is the last resort to play live shows to cars I might think about it, at  the moment no way. it is not working for Metal, metal people have to move and want to feel the bass. These auto concerts the music is on your radio, on your stereo on your car there is no PA system. It’s not a live impression, you sit in your car. I understand people are doing this now because they are desperate but not for Destruction we had the offer but I don’t want to rip my fans off with Shit like this.”

This spring, DESTRUCTION are delivering a treat for fans stuck at home and unable to attend live shows: “Born To Thrash – Live In Germany” is the band’s first live album with the current line-up and will be released digitally on May, 8th!

Today, the band is teasing that release in the form of a trailer. Find out more, here:

To include all of their loyal fans in this special release, the band initiated an interactive campaign featuring a map where DESTRUCTION fans could sign in and mark the location of the first time they saw the band live.

Singer and bassist Schmier comments on the release:
“This live album is the most spontaneous thing we ever did I think! This is the music business, everything usually takes time and the label does not like surprises. But a good friend of ours spontaneously recorded that Party.San show and we had a film team there that weekend cause we were shooting a movie.
It was a fantastic show and since the Covid-19 has halted all live concerts, we decided to release this for the fans. This also introduces the current fantastic new line up that not all of our fans have seen live yet cause of the actual situation! We will release three official videos in total during the promo of ‘Born To Thrash – Live In Germany’! The film crew wasn’t there to record all of the set but our movie will show the scenery behind the stage and the way we try to achieve our goals! So luckily they caught at least some of the stage magic that night! It feels so awesome that we can share this!”
