Cut to 2020. I received this Destruction “Born to Thrash (Live in Germany)” with great contentment and joy. Needless to say that this review was already written by the moment I received and downloded the album. Exactly the kind of review that writes by itself. I have to say that the band has changed a lot from the “Mad Butcher” EP technically and musically. It’s still Thrash, but the band evolved their playing. That’s an easily perceived thing in an alive album. Being a quartet helped a lot with those changes, if you ask me. “Born to Thrash (Live in Germany)” is a tour around the band’s almost forty-year career and a present for the importance of it to Metal music. The first thing that poped up was that “Nailed to the Cross” is completely different from its studio version. Hard to explain why that happened, what I do know is that I liked that version better. Another relevant thing to say is that the band was able to reproduce alive the insane and frentic studio mood, what is a very hard thing to accomplish specially when it comes to the drumming.
Alright then, “Born to Thrash (Live in Germany)” is the perfect album fot the passionate and insane fans of the band, but not only them, if you ask me. If you are a fan of the great Metal music, this is also for you.
By the way, what a nice art cover.

I’m just a lucky guy who has chosen metal to live with for a long time. Metal changed my life for good. It made me more confident and stronger. Metalheads are naturally far away from the mass mediocrity and don’t accept impostures from anybody else. Metal is more than music, it’s a life changing oportunity!
