Since 1989, Germany’s Desaster have delivered their own unholy blend of extreme metal — and in 2025 they return with Kill All Idols. “Churches Without Saints was a typical old-school Desaster black-death-thrash album, but the new one is more diverse,” says guitarist and founding member Infernal. “Of course, Kill All Idols sticks to our classic Black/Thrash style, but this time our punk roots come through clearer than ever.”

After a four-year wait, fans’ patience will pay off. “We never feel pressured — that would kill the fun and creativity. For us, it’s about enjoying ourselves, not business,” says Infernal. Anything that doesn’t convince all four members gets dropped. Kill All Idols is the second album with the same lineup — live and in the studio you can feel the chemistry.

The album was recorded again in their rehearsal room with their live mixer Janosch Gensheimer. It was mixed and mastered by Greg Wilkinson (Autopsy) in California. Infernal explains: “We wanted to see who could best capture the Desaster sound in 2025. Greg gave us a new sound that’s a bit unusual for Desaster but fits perfectly for our 10th studio album. The result couldn’t have turned out better.”
