While there are many monikers that could be applied to Gothenburg based metal outfit Death Destruction – super group, side-project, hobby-band – not one is correct. Rather, one could view the band as the collective results of four master musicians joining forces.
With a background in progressive metal (Evergrey), power-metal (Hammerfall) or metal-core (Dead By April), the members Henrik Danhage, Jonas Ekdahl, Fredrik Larsson and Jimmie Strimell prove that the sum of their efforts reach far beyond the separate components. And if you think you could get an idea based on the members other bands what Death Destruction sounds like, think again.
This is powerful music; aggressive yet lean and flexible. And don’t let Jimmie’s in-your-face-growling intimidate you. Behind the angry vocals you’ll find a groove and heaviness that prompts the bands own explanation “ZZ Top on steroids”.
First single, “Fuck Yeah” packs a heavy punch and has already become a staple of the band’s live set with it’s characteristic call and response-chorus. The video, directed by Patric Ullaeus, sees the band in the studio joined by a bunch of friends in other Gothenburg bands such as In Flames, Hammerfall, Mustasch, Dark Tranquillity and Hardcore Superstar, among others. Recorded completely live without any overdubs, it showcases the strength of the band as well as Jimmie’s powerful vocals and front-manship.
The debut-album “Death Destruction” is recorded in Gothenburg, at IF-Studios and is produced by Roberto Laghi – the producer behind In Flames, LOK and Hardcore Superstar etc.
