Yes, Destruction re-recorded some of their older songs. Yes, the production is better, and their new drummer is better. Sorry, it doesn't help. Schmier now sings all down and dirty, bypassing the maniacal shriek he used to deliver. The band now sounds all new-school, and they just sort of lost me...got to give this one a thumbs down. It just sounds like a modern metal band covering old Destruction songs. The charm and identity of the original songs are gone. I used to marvel at how the guitarist was able to play so tightly alongside the old shambling drummer. Not a problem anymore, they now have a rock-solid kit basher in the band. Oddly, that doesn't influence me in a positive way. I think this lineup of Destruction should record new material, not overhaul their classics. Upon hearing this CD and their new style, I didn't even go to their show. This listener recommends that you seek out the original "Sentence of Death" and "Infernal Overkill" albums instead.
