DESTRUCTION - Release from Agony LP

When first released in 1987 via Steamhammer, Destruction's third full-length album “Release from Agony” scored a 9 out of 10 in the German Rock Hard Magazine, where it was even called “the best Destruction-LP of all”. And yes, many people would agree that this album is the most ambitious and most controversial of the first studio albums, with a more technical and much darker approach. It went further down a path that Destruction had paved with “Mad Butcher”. “Release from Agony” is technically brilliant, it’s a two-fisted thrash missile, displaying an extraordinary level of musicianship; on top of that, it contains guest vocals by Mille and Ventor of Kreator and V.O. Pulver and André Grieder from Poltergeist.
