Book this please! Looks like they'll be in our neck of the woods... and Spewtilator will gladly open.

German thrash metal veterans DESTRUCTION will embark on a North American headlining tour in April/May with support from Australia's DESTROYER 666.

Commented DESTRUCTION bassist/vocalist Marcel "Schmier" Schirmer: "It feels fantastic to return to North American shores for the first time after our return to Nuclear Blast with a new album as brutal as 'Day Of Reckoning' on our backs. This is the strongest material we have written since [2001's] 'The Antichrist' and we are burning to present these shredding songs and introduce our new 6.6-foot-tall drum animal Vaaver [INDUKTI, ex-UNSUN] live! Of course, all the DESTRUCTION classics will be there; we know what our faithful fans want and we will serve them well! You will feel the force of the strongest lineup we have ever had. Experience the true power and the rigorous precision of German thrash metal live this spring! Can't fuckin' wait!"

destruction had a terrible crowd last time they came through. kinda suprised me because for such an awesome thrash band i expected more than 70 people.

Was it really that small? It felt like a lot to me. Sheesh.

Ha ha!~

It was like two or three years ago, right? I think Krisiun and 40 other bands opened or something...

40 bands?? couldn't have been the same show. I saw them with Krisiun, Mantic Ritual and Legion X. And i honestly don't think there were more than two rows of people at the front of the stage. Now this was my first Heaven show after Carcass (which was packed to the back) which could have altered my perception of how many people were there, but even our other guitarist remembers it hardly having anyone.

the show i went to was april 4th 2009... not sure who opened, i got there early, decided i didn't give a shit about whoever the opening bands were, went and asked the ticket booth what time destruction was going on and then proceeded to leave and go party with bigmatt and drink whiskey while putting things in my lungs and nose with rafay until shortly before they were scheduled to go on upon what time we returned, entered, RAAAAAAGED, and then left to party more... and then get pulled over less than a minute from my house... good times.

I would go to this.

the crowd for carcass might be a little deceptive to compare to an average thrash or death metal show at the masquerade by means of what a good crowd is.

yeah but the difference was just way too huge. i've seen plenty of other thrash shows with way more people
