Anthony Chowanec of All Metal Music conducted an interview earlier today (Thursday, November 20) with frontman Marcel "Schmier" Schirmer of German thrash metal veterans DESTRUCTION. Listen to the chat in two parts below.

DESTRUCTION recently uploaded the song "Urge - The Greed Of Gain" featuring solos from Gary Holt (EXODUS) and Jeff Waters (ANNIHILATOR) alongside that of DESTRUCTION's own Mike Sifringer.

Commented DESTRUCTION frontman Marcel "Schmier" Schirmer: "This is my favorite track on [the latest DESTRUCTION album] 'D.E.V.O.L.U.T.I.O.N.'! First of all a big 'CHEERS' to my three guitar heroes for the killer job! But I do not only love this thrashing tune cause of the amazing contribution from our good friends Jeff and Gary, also cause the track stands for an upgrade of our sound without losing the edge and our old school roots. Looking forward to play that new stuff live!"

DESTRUCTION's "D.E.V.O.L.U.T.I.O.N. - 25 Years Of Total Destruction (Part II)" tour will kick off on November 26 in Karlsruhe, Germany. Support on the trek will come from DEBAUCHERY and SCARED TO DEATH.

"D.E.V.O.L.U.T.I.O.N.", the new album from DESTRUCTION, recently entered the Media Control chart in the band's home country at position No. 65. The CD was released on August 22 via AFM Records and features guest appearances by Gary Holt (EXODUS), Jeff Waters (ANNIHILATOR) and Vinnie Moore (UFO).
