German thrash metal legends Destruction have announced their new Blu-ray/CD release titled ‘Live Attack,’ which has been set for an August 13, 2021 unleashing through Napalm Records (pre-order). The effort features footage from the band’s performance at Z7 in Switzerland, which aired online at the start of this year.
Destruction comment on the impending live effort release, “This show at our fave club, the Z7 in Switzerland, was a really special one in the middle of this dreadful pandemic! When we recorded it as a live stream on the 1st of January, it gave us hope back and connected us with the fans worldwide! Many supporters demanded to release it in physical form, so we had to make it happen. The setlist reflects four decades of DESTRUCTION with an almost two hour best-of setlist, which includes some really rare live tracks! It was for sure a night to remember… we hope you all enjoy it as much as we did!”
Regarding new live video single “Mad Butcher,” which you can check out below, bassist/vocalist Schmier comments, “‘Mad Butcher’ is one of the first songs we ever wrote, such a classic! I still love to perform it live, it is in my DNA meanwhile, I guess! There are a lot of memories that come along with this track and the history of the band. We brought back the double-lead section from the EP version into the solo part; many fans have reacted at that during the live shows, which is really cool! But this DVD will also have some nice surprises, some songs we have not played live in decades…!”
