German thrash metal legends Destruction have dropped their second single, “A.N.G.S.T.,” from their upcoming album Birth of Malice, due on March 7, 2025. Known for their 40+ year career, the band’s latest track delivers a relentless onslaught of shredding guitar solos, intense vocals by frontman Schmier, and a powerful message of confronting fear.
The song’s raw energy is matched by a stunning music video that channels iconic horror imagery and special effects, evoking the nightmarish power of paranoia. “A.N.G.S.T.” urges listeners to break free from mental chains and confront their inner demons, reflecting the band’s signature theme of battling evil forces that prey on vulnerability.
Destruction continues to solidify their place alongside thrash metal heavyweights like Sodom and Kreator, with Birth of Malice promising more of their raw, brutal sound—now enhanced with greater variety and groove. The band, led by Schmier’s dual vocal and bass attack, is joined by guitarists Martin Furia and Damir Eskić, and drummer Randy Black, making Birth of Malice a must-listen for thrash fans.
