Destruction - Release From Agony

[cesargruebel]

This guy don't need five fingers in the left hand to release himself from agony

[metalboyX7X]

I got a shirt with it :P

[TruthSufferage]

This album cover never fails to scare the shit out of me.

[familyman14]

I saw these guys in Boston during this records tour at the Paradise..... or was it the Channell???

[NINJATRONdnb]

that guitar solo is memories for me im so happy to hear it

[NINJATRONdnb]

if your a musician like me then youll know this fucking LP FUCKING RULES!!!!!!!!!!! this album is one of the best LPS of all time i dont care what anyone says , always love this !!!!!!!!! 9 people have aids

[MusicJamin330]

I'm getting a shirt with this album cover on it! I can't wait to see the looks and hear the comments I'll get from people haha

[HellsAngel05]

Destruction=one of the best thrash metal bands!! I pay huge respect for this band getting me into thrash metal! \m/ Hail Destruction!!!!

[dedbusted]

Guillermo Del Toro must have been a fan of this album

[pyromaniarules]

first time hearing a destruction song, and they are ok, im not a big fan of the lead singer

[SukiSukiNiiNii]

@pyromaniarules check out "the defiance will remain" that one is pretty badass

[Tettuli]

@pyromaniarules just listen to it more and more, and you will like it way more, check out their fist ep and album, it's moore newbie friendly

[MrPurulent]

thrash!!!!!!! uh destruction !!!!!!!!!

[jadedmastermind]

I discovered this band when I walked into Princeton Record Exchange as a high school student in the 90's and this band was playing over the loud speakers. It was the Mad Butcher album, but that was all it took to arouse my curiosity. Destruction rules!!!

[Monolith787]

i'm trying to get into death metal cause i really like Carcass and Napalm Death anyone know some other stuff that's easy to get into?

[RafaGeass]

@Monolith787 You probably know Morbid Angel and Death... There are a lot of other good Death/Brutal Death Metal bands like Cannibal Corpse, Sarcofago, Vulcano, Krisiun, Sepultura (first albuns), Nile, Torture Squad, all of them are great

[SlavaMetallu]

@RafaGeass I would personally refer to Sarcófago as a Black Metal, even though Wagner Antichrist himself said he views Sarcófago's music as Death Metal

[mkfan1013]

@Monolith787 Nile, dismemeber, old morbid angel, At the gates, and Death.

[mp40Furth]

I love this pic.

[squidinking13]

this is wut metal is all about.

[dalekoch1]

when this album came out my brother dreampt that thing was under a helicopter he was in and the thing was looking at him with its hands around and inside the helicopter, i guess he said that was one of his scariest dreams he had back then.

[razorgod65]

FUCKIN A!!!!!!

[bulloty101]

fuck ... this song sucks

[RinkuChan44]

@bulloty101 Your cerebral cortex cannot process the musical complexities of this song, much less Destruction. Only a fine tuned ear can allow the listener to comprehend such immense melodies.

[KissMeImPunk]

@bulloty101 It doesn't suck, you just listen to shitty music.

[videogamefrk1235]

The cover makes me want to actually try it to see if they can see..

[NINJATRONdnb]

the way metal should be today but its not :(

[Tettuli]

@NINJATRONdnb actually yes it is

[Tettuli]

i'm masturbating to that album cover

[metal4eva16j]

@Tettuli is that it? im praying to it!

[lucalunaindiepop]

maybe worst album art

[BadassAnons]

@lucalunaindiepop It's scary but it sure is nice. Morbid Saint-spectrum of death = worst.

[DawnPatroler]

3:00 right here <----

[Doggersamm]

pans labrynth

[ZimTheHomicidalAlien]

@Doggersamm What?

[rogamfu1]

Me gusta mas la version del Trash Antems, aunque esta version es buena

[CyrillKR]

@rogamfu1 I understand that there is a huge metal crowd in Spanish speaking countries but here's the thing.

Иногда нам не понятно что кто говорит и из за этого есть Англиский язык.

[scheissdrek]

All that opiated hash they smoke in Germany gives

them a pretty insane perspective on art

[xseb5x]

I got this album cover on a T shirt when I saw Destruction last night! Fucking awesome mosh pit!

[matt101071]

if u play guitar u have to love the guitar work on this song!!!huh!! definitely..;'[

[MrDodstink]

Merciless,brutal and extreme true thrash opus!

[ksenobite]

 i love dis, this is total music, not for gays though, i hope they keep away ...do they?

[annefrankisaho]

@ksenobite

You're a fucking idiot.

[Mariogiussepe]

LOVE fucking DESTRUCTION ,they fucking jam so hard ," I am cught in a dream and I'm trying to pass through ",my ole time favorite German Bands ; DESTRUCTION and KREATOR...THRASH ON....

[Ivan4131994]

@Mariogiussepe and Sodom

[TheAnimalhouse96744]

It sounds like early slayer and annihilator put in one. This band is really good. I was a little worried I wouldnt like this band...but they are pretty good.

[wilkaye666]

this is thesoure. Before all that avenged faggot fold valentine bemore of of a jiggor crap/i I

[Ivan4131994]

@wilkaye666 lol some one has a bad taste in music

[rutbuck12]

i remember walking into the record store at our mall with my mom, at the age of 16, and grabbed this album from the shelf, and seeing my moms face upon seeing the cover was priceless!! but still, she didnt say shit, or stop me from getting it...LOVE YOU MOM!! LMAO!

[jn6verse51]

@rutbuck12 really? i remember getting drunk as fuk and pissing all over the dumb ass security guard after he got dropped from a right hook to his dome, after he grabbed my ex bitch cause she was jackin hell of cds, ithis cd out of it ...haa at age 14..

[milkandsugah]

@rutbuck12 the same thing happened to me when I was 14 with Hell Awaits, and then the cashier FUCKING RUINED IT!! He said "are you sure you want your kid listening to this?" She looked at it a little more and said "nah, put this back"

[HerveGamerDude]

@rutbuck12 the cover is fuckin disgusting. i hate it, creepy as fuck, but thats the way a metal cover should be

[JohnMetal91]

@HerveGamerDude The cover is what kept me from listening to this album for a while, I felt the same way about Slayer - Christ Illusion, the cover was just horrible. But don't judge a book (err, album) by its cover, Release From Agony is a kick ass album.

[JohnMetal91]

@rutbuck12 I had to go to some much trouble in order to convince my mom to get me the Master Of Puppets t-shirt, seriously. If I tried to get something like this, she would probably faint. But I can always use Amazon.com to get stuff.

[xytsdx2]

@rutbuck12 My mom bought me a slayer shirt, and she never payed attention to what it looks like until weeks later when I wore it to school, it looked like a satanic pentagram with a guy holding a sword, she was screaming at me asking me if I was satanic, so i come back home from school the next day and found that she had thrown my slayer shirt in the garbage :'(

[Strindom]

@xytsdx2 You didn't point out that the pentagram's broken? For shame.

[xytsdx2]

@Strindom I did, she still didn't like the way it looks :[

[HageKilledYirDa]

i wonder wear pans labyrinth got the idea from eh? :P

[Haloman777]

@HageKilledYirDa Holy shit now I remember why the cover looks so familiar

[wickedworld1999]

@HageKilledYirDa Exactly, that crossed my mind too haha

[MegaAvicularia]

the cover is pur art

[Korndude4561]

that album cover is fucking hilarious

[pushdabatton]

the intro sounds like metallica

[sanjinator17]

@pushdabatton cool

[GrobmotorikJones]

does anybody speak german round here? :D

[worldeater11]

@GrobmotorikJones ich!

[ignizsteel]

the sound quality of this album is not the better... but destruction and his themes are very awesome... hail the old destruction!!!!

[MrWero1974]

for me this is one of the best songs from destruction

[TMetalFromHell]

@MrWero1974 agreed

[TheThrasherd]

@MrWero1974 My favorite is unconcious ruins that song is badass!!! Just for the record Destruction is the greatest band on earth hands down!!!

[Intesivecarebear]

I fucking lost this cassette tape along time ago, thanks to alot of people and youtube I can listen to it again. Thank you Bro

[THRASHFKINFILLETS]

Isn't this album suppose to be their best or them at their highest peak,

I'm not too sure.I MUST buy this album.Guitarist Mike Sifringer has been in the

band since the very first album,and for that he very much gets my applause,

gratitude and lots of respect.Thrash motherfuckers!!!Cheers from Down Under.

[THRASHFKINFILLETS]

Isn't this album suppose to be their best or them at their highest peak,

I'm not too sure.I MUST buy this album.

[matt101071]

yeahhhhooooo fuckin destruction rules great band awesome talent i wish theyd tour massachussetts more,, palladium,worcester,is a great place 4 a show ,, they,ll need a good opener touring with them so they can play downstairs on the big stage ,play with kreator orkingdiamond or venom ,or some band like that ,,,it,d b awesome id go with like 8orten people ...

[SuperLongbeard]

I just read a story about a guy who had his large intestine ripped out by a pool pump while he was about to drown and had to gnaw through his own guts in order to get some air. That was way less disturbing than this album cover. The T-shirt with it on it is cunting awesome.

[MockEmpire]

killer

[MasaFinn]

that album cover will haunt me in my dreams..

[kevbot71]

nothing beats 80's thrash!!!!!!

[FABULOUSDISASTER666]

i just got a destruction inventor of evil patch yesterday and im getting a back patch of this soon

[teaandcakes2002]

it really annoys me when bands use pictures of my girlfriend without permission

[Jakster840]

@teaandcakes2002 bahahahahahahahahaha

[superchef78]

@teaandcakes2002 Your girlfriend is ugly.

[microkorgboy]

The front cover freaks me out.

[MrGun00]

one of the best solo's I've ever heard...

[lightequs]

Drop Dead Motherfuckers

[slayyer000]

fuckin awesome!

[Kendofang]

The opening/main riff...WOW. Its like being smashed through a billion brick walls.

[francisconanoia1]

PURE OLD SCHOOL THRASH

[auroralavigne12]

that is a cool pic

[deathclock9]

The face on this album cover reminds me of the aliens from the Last Starfighter

[rustinpeace09]

Desruction's best ablum Schirmer voclas are better than on the their first two ablums

[BreathTheDeath]

#RELEASE #FROM #AGONY

[HEROINEofDESTRUCTION]

BEST ALBUM FROM DESTRUCTION! It will get me. It will choke me.

Screaming in my bed in agony

[samael1981]

This was my favorite Destruction album. Truely brutal german thrash. Awesome.

[brunu4h]

This music rocks so much....

[Phycodorus]

I <3 Schmier's vocals.

Second best to David DiSanto. :)

[Vladdrinkerofblood88]

fucking awesome

[peeewt]

fuck me for just overlooking this great album!

[cadelk87]

Dude, I accidentaly thumbs downed your comment. My bad.

\m/

[Powermaddd]

I agree with nychro7. The instrumental sound is great, but Destruction lacks in lyrical discipline on this album. Vocals are also too "screechy" for my ears. R.F.A. is still a good substitute for a morning cup of coffee, though.

[nychro7]

This album is really cool musically, with great sound quality. But the lyrics and vocals suck. Sorry guys, but TANKARD rules them all in most respects.

[chiaromontestephen]

ur talking like a fucking poser. the lyrics not only on this song but on this entire album kick ass. schmier's vocals kick ass. i'm a big tankard fan myself but don't fucking disrespect destruction because they are great.

[nychro7]

@chiaromontestephen Predictable response. Whatever.

[chiaromontestephen]

@nychro7 how the fuck is that a predictabe response? i'm defending one of my fav thrash bands and vocalist.

[orderchaos]

love that solo!

[cadelk87]

Hell yeah. Found it again.

Schmeir fucking nails this track

[cadelk87]

Perfect Metal

Its everything as bad ass as anything I've heard.

Destruction gets it.

[fbrunetti4]

holding myself not to start a moshpit by myself lol

[dragon7king2]

this is by far the most crazy disturbing amazing album cover iv'e ever seen

[chiaromontestephen]

@dragon7king2 i think you'll change ur mind if u ever see the album cover for cannibal corpse's butchered at birth.

[Bierduvel]

@dragon7king2 Oh boy. It's good, but I've seen MUCH worse.

[quiz9146]

@dragon7king2 ever heard of cannibal corpse ?

[chaosdeemon]

@quiz9146

Cannibal Corpse's album covers are too gratuitous to be genuinely disturbing.

[DerEchteBold]

@quiz9146

cannibal corpse's covers aren't disturbing

they're really artistically raw and simple (some would say bad drawing)

- which makes them almost funny (some could say ridiculous)

[quiz9146]

@DerEchteBold speak whatever you want but The Wretched Spawn's cover is pretty disturbing to me.

[DerEchteBold]

@quiz9146

that's exactly one of them i would call ridiculous

it's nothing short of adolescent and the bad drawing leads the brutality ad absurdum - just makes me laugh at

(thought the youth nowadays is used to more extreme)

[Ivan4131994]

@DerEchteBold you can say all you want, i know cannibal corpse has more disturbing covers than this, maybe you are a destruction fanboy who cant admit it, i dont care, just face the fact, if cannibal corpse covers are ridiculous then so are destruction

[DerEchteBold]

@Ivan4131994

sorry, don't want to offend you it's just a personal opinion that to me the CC stuff seems a bit childish

(when i looked up a list with all their covers the other day - it really made me laugh)

and no, i'm way off beein a "destruction fan-boy" (haha)

i used to like them many, many years ago (could be sometime around when you were born (if the age in your profile's correct))

[Ivan4131994]

@DerEchteBold i don't like CC but i think they have the craziest covers, i am 17, im still young and i like old and new metal stuff or rock.

[superchef78]

@DerEchteBold "cannibal corpse's covers aren't disturbing"

That's subjective. They're intended to disturb/offend, incidentally.

[DerEchteBold]

@superchef78

the intention is screwed up if they're technically so bad and nothing short of adolescent it makes 'em laughable

ps please let's end this subject now i'm tired of it

[superchef78]

@DerEchteBold Laughable yes, but they ARE intended to offend also.

[stantiqueify]

@dragon7king2 Yeah! I tripped on this cover & music when the album came out.

[MrMetalmaster09]

this could have ben a nice balld. this kicksass to. but im just saying

[quickz0r]

love the drums

[nychro7]

... my favorite part of this album. Solid crunch.

[lucasa88]

Harry is the main reason why i started playing the guitar. i think i'll cover some songs from this album if not all of them , it'll take a while for me to take everything by ear specially the solos, but 'ill be posting as soon as i finish

[mujuma]

I'd listen to this whole Album if I could, fuck my Internet is so SLOW!

[NUCLEARINFECTOR]

Kick ass!!!

[dagonFFF]

I have this one on LP, fucking kicks ass!

[SJB666]

Yer I have it too, White Vinyl record if I remember correctly. Mines still in perfect condition.

[dagonFFF]

I have it on black vinyl.

[Nunslaughter1974]

[tomistomasinensis]

release from agony is such a kool name 4 a song

[hulkstein]

and so is the promise of agony

[KenshinHimura22222]

lml

[metalb22]

This solo just sends a chill up your spine man!!! Thrash Till' Death!!!!

[ThunderStormWatcher]

Hell to the Kings of Heavy Metal

Destruction is one of my favorites growing up ;)

[TheRagman666]

[NocturnalOverLord]

I always turn this up to the max volume on my stereo! Fucking headbanging galore! THRASH LEGENDS!!!

[ANOLDMANONCRACK]

KICK ASS RIFFAGE!!!!!

[Riivale]

fucking insane album cover

i fucking love it!!!

[pornsohai]

NICE STUFF

[nagumo10001]

"reneac91 (1 week ago) Show Hide

nagumo10001, no one needs your comments, destruction is badass all the way,as long as they dont sell out to the stupid media its all good."

Which is exactly what they did considering they completely abandoned their old albums! The only albums I really care about!

[theZodiacDigital]

when you talk about destruction, release from agony, knocks me out!

[reneac91]

nagumo10001, no one needs your comments, destruction is badass all the way,as long as they dont sell out to the stupid media its all good.

[nagumo10001]

Well, after perusing Destruction's website all I can say is that they are pussies! Way too concerned with commercialization of their IP than actually being a true band. So, fuck 'em! Even Iron Maiden are true to their roots, far more than these cunts!

[nagumo10001]

Awesome. This brings back memories from the 80's (Kreator, Destruction, Annihilator, Testament, and Slayer) to be exact. While i also loved Napalm Death and Sore Throat (basically the same band), these guys provided some truly extreme thrash!

I only hope I can find a way to buy this album again since it is/was long lost from my collection. :(

[Zodist]

@nagumo10001 ,me too bands like Sodom,Bathory,Venom,Candlemass and so on.The days were about black jeans,ripped metal t-shirts and mullets haircuts.I wish i can turn back the hand of a clock.Cheers.Doom and Gloom.

[nickp1994]

The cover looks like it may of hurt (thats not a complaint just felt like stating it) but this is a great band and a great song!

[astarubis]

Excelente/Excelent, me encanta puro lujo esta banda, thanks.

Gracias / Thanks
