Destruction - 'Diabolical' (Studio Session)

I am a sadistic narcissist
Born to lead the blind
I'm born privileged
With a nihilistic mind

Dirty deeds
Political intrigues
My business is malicious
All I do is vicious

I am Diabolus
You are under my spell
I am the Demon
I am the ruler of Hell

Diabolical!
Diabolical!

Destroyer of Harmony
I'm born to bring destruction
Ruled by greed and money
Scandals and corruption

Dirty deeds
Political intrigues
My business is malicious
All I do is vicious

I am Diabolus
You are under my spell
I am the Demon
I am the ruler of Hell
Diabolical!

Diabolical!
Diabolical!

Worship me or you will die
I will make your woman cry
I destroy to my own need
I hate all the human breed

Dirty deeds
Political intrigues
My business is malicious
All I do is vicious

I am Diabolus
You are under my spell
I am the Demon
I am thе ruler of Hell
Diabolical!
Diabolical!

Άκρως δραστήριοι δισκογραφικά μέσα στο 2021 αποδείχθηκαν οι Destruction. Αρχικά ήταν το boxed set "Tales of Morbid Brains" με ένδεκα βινύλια. Ακολούθησε ο "ζωντανά" ηχογραφημένος δίσκος "Live Attack" τον περασμένο Αύγουστο κι ακολούθησε μία σειρά από singles (πέντε στο σύνολο).

Ενεργοί δισκογραφικά σκοπεύουν να παραμείνουν και το 2022 οι Γερμανοί thrashers με την κυκλοφορία του 17ου στουντιακού "ολοκληρωμένου" δίσκου τους, ο οποίος φέρει τον τίτλο "Diabolical" κι αναμένεται στις αρχές Απριλίου...

Schmier states about the recording: «This was the most fun we had working on a record in a very long time and you can hear that. Yes. it was theoretically a difficult album but we did not think this way while we recorded it. We just followed our emotions, jammed and rocked out with a strong gut feeling! This recording was like a therapy to me, we all know how difficult the times are at the moment. So I m super happy how everything turned out!»

Guitar shredder Damir adds: «It was a real honor for me to record this album. The studio work for „Diabolical“ was very spontaneous and we had a lot of fun creating these dynamic, multifaceted and brutal but diverse songs. I loved every second working on this record!»
