DE · 1982–present · active
Formed in 1982 in Weil am Rhein, Destruction are one of the foundational "three kings" of Teutonic thrash metal alongside Kreator and Sodom, their early recordings — including the 1984 EP Sentence of Death and the ferocious 1985 debut Infernal Overkill — establishing a savage, riff-driven extremity that was among the most aggressive music in Europe at the time. Anchored for decades by vocalist and bassist Schmier and guitarist Mike Sifringer, the band's catalog spans over fifteen studio albums, and their reunion in 1999 after a period of hiatus restored them to an active and prolific presence in the global thrash metal scene.

Rome, IT · 2019–present · active
