Lörrach, Basel, Germany (1982 – 1990, 1999 – present)

Destruction is a German thrash metal band formed in Lörrach, Germany in 1982. They originally started under the name Knight of Demon. They soon changed their name to Destruction and released two demos.
They are also known as one of the three big names of Teutonic thrash metal; the others are Kreator and Sodom.

They recorded their first demo in 1984 entitled “Bestial Invasion of Hell”. The original line-up consisted of vocalist/bassist Marcel “Schmier” Schirmer, drummer Tommy Sandmann, and guitarist Mike Sifinger.

In 1999, a reunion has been consistently successful, with 2001’s album “The Antichrist” being regarded by many as a modern thrash classic. The band followed up with “Metal Discharge” in 2003 and, most recently, “Inventor of Evil” in 2005 by Nuclear Blast Records.
