German thrash metal torchbearers Destruction have premiered a music video for their latest single “Repent Your Sins“. Speaking of the track and its visual component, the band’s vocalist/bassist Marcel “Schmier” Schirmer offered:
“The music and the song itself shows the more groovy part of the new record. I love the diminished riff and the way Randy grinds the beat into your head! This will be an awesome LIVE track for sure! The lyrics of Repent are about the history of abuse in the Catholic church! A rather tragic and sad part of human history, that is still covered up by our governments. It seems the laws that count for all of us do not apply for servants of the church. UNREAL INJUSTICE!
The video itself tries to show the soul torment of the culprit. To live with your dirty deeds but pray about love and kindness can not be justified and needs to be accused, named, remembered and wiped out!”
The song comes from the band’s fifteenth studio album “Diabolical“, which Napalm Records will have out this Friday, April 08th. You can also catch the group out in North America on their 40th anniversary tour with Nervosa, Sunlord and VX36 at the following shows:
