You can try to put DESTRAGE in a box but you will never succeed. Words such as “progressive”, “cinematic”, “mathcore”, “technical” and “groove-laden”, could be thrown at them, but really the only one you need is DESTRAGE, for they are in a category of their own making. This has never been more true than on “A Means To No End“, the fourth full-length from the Milan, Italy-based 5-piece, which was released in October 2016 via Metal Blade Records. You can watch guitar play-through for the track “Dreamers“, featuring the band’s own Matteo Di Gioia and Ralph Salati, below.
The entire guitar transcription for “A Means To No End” can also be purchased online here.
Riveting from start to finish, “A Means To No End” leads the listener through an emotionally-charged labyrinth of complex yet catchy melody and muscle, following nobody’s rules. Known for their powerful live shows, these tracks are sure to sound incredible when blasted from titanic speakers as DESTRAGE takes them to the masses at their upcoming European shows.
