The 1985 Listening Post - Destruction - Infernal Overkill

Destruction - Infernal Overkill


#172
May 25 1985
Destruction
Infernal Overkill
Genre: Thrash Metal
2 out of 5


Here’s what I’ve learned: There is a hardcore fanbase for this stuff that will swallow it up as long as its out there. How else can we explain that Destruction is releasing their 14th album THIS year?
There is nothing new here. Nothing exciting. Angry growly vocals over speed metal shredding. 
The shredding is sharp and intense enough to get through Parmigiano-Reggiano, though.
If that’s all you wanna hear, Destruction provides that in spades. If you like, I dunno, songs, you will not find much of that here.
For me the best example of all this is “Bestial Invasion”. Not a song. Lyrics that are worthless. Intense guitar mania. 
Next.
