Ultimo disco per i Destruction che, insieme a Sodom e Kreator, sono i re del Thrash metal Tedesco.

L' album si apre con "Soul Collector" che vagamente ricorda "Hell Awaits" degli Slayer; si prosegue poi con "The Defiance Will Remain" e si arriva alla canzone che vale tutto l' album: "The Alliance Of Helloundz", in collaborazione con un mucchio infinito di ottimi cantanti tra cui Paul Di Anno (ex Iron Maiden), Doro Pesch, Messiah Marcolin (Candlemass), Shagrath (Dimmu Borgir), Biff Byford (Saxon), Bjorn "Speed" (Soilwork), Peter Tagtren (Hypocrisy).
Si tratta di un album magnifico che ti esalta dall'inizio alla fine e con una vera perla al suo interno, "The Alliance of Helloundz", considerata da molti "una vera orgia di metallo Fumante".
Ottima prova per Schmier e soci e speriamo che si facciano sentire ogni tanto.

Elenco tracce e testi

01   Soul Collector (04:46)

02   The Defiance Will Remain (04:15)

Creating idols of decay
Servants of common replay
Feed the machine of illusion and lies
A new star is born-oversize

Common knowledge built on scars
Spreading societys war cry
Remote controlled superstars
Dull minds deserve the small fry

The defiance will remain
Resistance with a high sustain
The defiance will remain
The defiance will remain

Creating idols of decay
Blinding with might and sucess
Bizz ain't a reliable source today
Temptation fight helps to opress

The turning point in life has a twisted neck!
Afraid that greed attracts the that pays back?

Creating idols of decay
Focus fatal mighty cash
Stereotype loser just don't pay
Dust to dust - fuckin' trash

(Schmier & Marc) Never surrender the spirit never dies
(Schmier, Tägtgren & Di’Anno) The Alliance of Hellhounds will rise

(Peavy) Prayers of steel made us to believe in sin after sin
(Biff) Denim and leather became our second skin
(Doro) True as steel that’s all we are
(Shagrath) Filth hounds of hades trying to leave scars

Bridge:
(Schmier, Doro & Björn) We’re together as one

06   The Chosen Ones (05:05)

07   Dealer of Hostility (04:17)

Feeding the lie
For the campaign
Sacrifice the blood
Of those who will resist

Who do we have to hate
The die hard or the slave
The initiator or the henchman

Suffering in lies
Suffering in lies
On a silver plate they teach hate
Powering hostility

Suffering in lies
Suffering in lies
Dead and buried who's concerned
Powering hostility

Enduring freedom
Fighting the holy war
Commercial killing
Panic they adore

Who do we have to hate
The die hard or the slave
The initiator or the henchman

Suffering in lies
Suffering in lies
On a silver plate they teach hate
Powering hostility

Suffering in lies
Suffering in lies
Dead and buried who's concerned
Powering hostility

 La tradizione del fucking old school thrash metal dei Destruction non tradisce le aspettative!!!

 Un ottimo disco che non è un fenomeno commerciale, ma tanta voglia di suonare alla vecchia maniera spaccando crani come il macellaio folle faceva una volta!!!
