Destruction – Mad Butcher

Description

CD reissue. Mad Butcher is the second EP by German thrash metal band Destruction, released in 1987. Tommy had left the band and two new members had entered the group: a new drummer, Olli, and a new guitarist, Harry. Destruction formed in 1982. They are often credited as one of the Big 4 of the German thrash metal scene, the others being Kreator, Sodom and Tankard. In addition to helping pioneer black metal by containing several elements of what was to become the genre, Destruction was part of the second wave of thrash metal in the late 1980s, along with American bands Testament, Sacred Reich, Death Angel and Dark Angel.
