The German thrash metal powerhouse Destruction approached doing a greatest hits type CD a little differently. They didn't just put together a bunch of their old songs for a compilation. Instead, they re-recorded and in some cases rearranged their classic tracks. The band has been around since 1984, so they had a lot of great material to choose from.
Thrash Anthems sounds fantastic. With modern recording technology some of the older songs that weren't produced that well the first time around now sound crystal clear and jump out of the speakers to punch you right in the gut. The other cool thing is that vocalist Schmier, who left the band for several years and returned, sings material he didn't record originally. Destruction also adds two brand new songs to the mix.
Destruction is one of the premiere European thrash metal bands, and this CD is a great introduction for those unfamiliar with the group, and a must own for fans.
