“Eternal Devastation” is Destruction’s second full-length album. Released in 1986, it showed a band that had moved away from their early, more black metal influenced style towards a “purer” form of thrash. Was that a conscious choice the band had made? Schmier explains: “I think it was just a very natural progress. Mike had so many great riffs for this album, we did not really think about the direction we were going into, we just did what felt right. Also, I had started to write more lyrics, so the dark outlook of our earlier songs gave way to more socially critical topics. I would say the album is more grown up and more mature. In hindsight it is always easier to understand what happened. I guess musicians always want to move on and that’s what happened. My most favourite Destruction songs from Eternal Devastation are still these two: ‘Curse The Gods’ and ‘Life Without Sense’.”
