THE DESTRO ARE STILL FUCKIN’ METAL

Tuesday, May 20th, 2008 at 11:31am by Axl Rosenberg

Here’s what I wrote about The Destro back in August, in a piece cleverly entitled “The Destro are Fuckin’ Metal”:

“How fuckin’ metal? So fuckin’ metal that in bar fights they can only bitch slap their opponents, because hitting them with a closed fist is the legal equivalent of beating someone with an aluminum baseball bat. So fuckin’ metal that they piss hot molten lead and shit lug nuts. So fuckin’ metal that the first thing they do every morning is lather themselves in WD-40. So fuckin’ metal that if they go out in the rain, they rust. So fuckin’ metal that if they go to the beach, they can’t go into the ocean because they’ll sink right to the bottom. So fuckin’ metal that Unearth frontman Trevor Phipps signed them to his Ironclad label after he discovered them during a mining expedition. So fuckin’ metal that they readily loses electrons to form positive ions, and if you put them in a room with a non-metal band, they’d form an ionic bond.”

Still apples, dude. Still applies.

Here’s their video for “Beast Burden.”

    These guys want to be Full Blown Chaos so badly.

  3. Cisco says:

    You guys need to cover the faceless more often, now that’s a band to keep an eye on.

  4. Chris says:

    The Festival needs to play Nashville!! We need a good metal fest. Dont play at The Muse. That venue sucks donkey dick.

  5. Conor says:

    Sounds like metalcore wanting to be thrash. This shit has been all over the Jersey scene for the past decade, Axl!

    Full Blown chaos? are you serious…..

  7. [...] The Destro fucking rule. If you read our site regularly, you should already know this. That’s why we’re very excited to be exclusively streaming “Persistence of Ignorance,” one of the heaviest tracks on their ripping, old-school-brutal-style new effort Harmony of Discord out October 13th through Ironclad / Metal Blade. Trust us, the rest of the album is more of the same: unrelenting, punishing, fuck-you-up groove after groove after groove. Check out The Destro’s MySpace page for another new track, “Justifiers of Malice.” [...]
