After the first press listening session,  we did get the quotes from the big EU Metal Mags (sorry some are german only) about the upcoming album DAY OF RECKONING:

“Unmistakeably DESTRUCTION, but sounding really fresh. Fantastic production, that highlights every element of the music. Great mixture of classic influences and new ideas. All round a great album. Very impressive.”
ZERO TOLERANCE (UK) | Chris Kee
 
“After “Devolution” à Revolution! Kick ass back to the embryonic massacre!”
ROCK TRIBUNE (B) | Vera Matthijssens
 
“Probably the most darkened DESTRUCTION album but still the modern way. Killer guitar attacks, crushing riffs and devastating drums! What more to expect? DESTRUCTION of course!”
METALLIAN (FR) | Denis Halleux
 
“DESTRUCTION schaffen den perfekten Spagat zwischen Old School-Gebretter und neuen, frischen Ideen. Spannend, ehrlich, geil!“
METAL HAMMER (D) | Marc Halupczok
 
„Das musikalisch ausgereifteste Album der Band. Brutal, kompromisslos und dennoch eingängig!“
HEAVY (D) | Jagger
 
„…genau zwischen „All Hell Breaks Loose“ und „Antichrist“. Eines der besten, wenn nicht DAS besten DESTRUCTION-Album seit der Reunion!“
LEGACY (D) | Markus Wiesmüller
 
„Mehr Old School, jedoch modern ambitioniert – ein neues Kapitel mit Reminiszenzen an die Bandhistory!“
ROCK HARD (D) | Björn Thorsten Jaschinski

Finally it's official: the new drummer is called VAAVER (Indukti, ex-Unsun), some of you may have seen him already with the band on this years summer festivals. He is a studied musician (McGill University of Montreal) and is a polish-canadian citizen!

Quote from singer SCHMIER:" the DESTRUCTION fans can look forward to an explosive drummasscre on the upcoming record "DAY OF RECKONING (EU 18th of February 2011/US 8th of March 2011)  VAAVER delightens our sound with a unbelieable tightness, technic and speed! A true rejuvenation for the band! And most important:  he fits really good on the human level - a fortunate choice! It feels great to be a real band again!"

Great news for all DESTRUCTION fans!

A part of the artwork of the upcoming slasher "Day of Reckoning" is unveiled! 

The new drummer is found and will be introduced to the public this week!

Releasedate for the record is the 18th of february in Europe and march 8th 2011 for the USA/Canada!

Just now, we got this sad news from DESTRUCTIONs booking agency TWISTED TALENT:

Dear Metalheads!

We are very sorry to announce that we have to cancel the show.
We agreed on certain subjects with the promoter which has to be fullfilled concering advance payments and flights.
Many of these agreed subjects have never been fullfilled from the promoters side and until now we do not even have seen any confirmed flight tickets for the whole band,
there was no flight ticket for our drummer and all payments have not been directed in time as agreed.

Everything what is coming from the promoters side is not near by the truth so we see ourselve forced to publish this to let all DESTRUCTION  fans know about the situation,

yours sincerly,
Destruction & Twisted Talent

Good news for all thrashers! DESTRUCTION will play some more shows this autumn/winter (please check the concertsite) and have just confirmed the KILLFEST Tour with OVERKILL & Heathen. Here are the dates:
