Prolific German thrash metal veterans Destruction have announced a North American spring headlining tour that will culminate with their appearance at this year’s ‘Maryland Deathfest‘. With 2022 marking the band’s 40th anniversary, they’ll be out touring in support of their fifteenth studio album “Diabolical“, which is planned for an April 08th release through Napalm Records.
Brazilian thrash metal outfit Nervosa will be handling the direct support duties on this tour, while Sunlord and VX36 have scored opening spots.
Destruction vocalist/bassist Marcel “Schmier” Schirmer stated:
“Yes – we are super thrilled: the first tour of the new record, ‘Diabolical‘, will kick off in North America! We could not tour there on the last album because of the pandemic, so we made it a top priority to return as soon as the circumstances would allow us, to play for our American fans again!
We are bringing our friends Nervosa along – they are a perfect match! We toured together before and the pits were smoking! They also haven’t toured in the USA or Canada in a long while. This is a killer package and we are super excited! See you all for a serious beating!!!”
Nervosa guitarist/vocalist Prika Amaral added:
“This will be a super fun tour with legends and friends – Nervosa with Destruction touring for the third time together, but this time in North America, and Nervosa with the new lineup. Be prepared for a thrash massacre! We can’t wait!”
