Destruction "Under Attack" enters the German Charts

• "With »Under Attack«, DESTRUCTION created their own »Painkiller«... this is their best album so far and exactly what Teutonic thrash is meant to be!" - ROCK HARD (I), Luca Bosio - 10/10
• "»Under Attack« is an instant classic, possibly one of thrash's greatest genre pieces ever." - BLABBERMOUTH (USA), Ray Van Horn, Jr. - 9,5/10
• "DESTRUCTION once more proof their status as an exeptional band and throw out their best album since their reunion. Riffs, grooves and screaming par excellence!" - METAL HAMMER (D), Tom Küppers

NUCLEAR BLAST is proud to announce that the new album of legendary thrash metal band DESTRUCTION “Under Attack” entered the official German charts on #68.

Mastermind Schmier states: "This is surreal and amazing at the same time cause German billboards are very conservative! Our last chart entry was in 2010, so it feels as special as the first time! Cheers to all supporters for kicking the ass of the mainstream!"
