OUT NOW ON HELLS HEADBANGERS: Pressed on traditional black vinyl and clear vinyl with black spaltter. Comes with a lyrics insert.
At long last, DESTRUKTOR return with their highly anticipated second album, Opprobrium! The band's first full-length in six years, Opprobrium follows the warring black/death path laid out on their critically acclaim debut album, Nailed. Since 1997, these Aussie tyrants have been patiently honing a sound that seethes with the war-metalled fire their homeland's world renowned for, yet over the years finessed with an acute attention to propulsive, immediately memorable songcraft. Nowhere is this more pronounced than on Opprobrium. Across seven swift songs in a lean 'n' mean 34 minutes, DESTRUKTOR quickly whip up a fury that walks the fine line between chaos and control - neither too blackened, nor too deathly - maintaining the teeth-gnashing gnarliness of their early work whilst exhibiting a startling sense of clarity. That clear-yet-crushing production amplifies DESTRUKTOR's scabrous assault tenfold here, every track a heat-seeking missile until the penultimate closer, "Forever the Blood Shall Flow." Indeed it shall, as you prepare for the force of Opprobrium...

Ripping Vicious!!, September 12, 2015 By Adrenalin (Waltham, VT)
Easily Destruktor's best release to date and one of HHR's best releases!! Violent, ripping, catchy and a fantastic production! A must have for any Black/Death/Aussie Bestial War Metal fan. They've slowed things down a bit on this album, which makes it that much heavier and memorable. I've always loved these guys and now I love them even more. They get better with each release!
