Cinemetal, Upcoming Bullshit

THE DESTRO MAKE BABIES CRY

 Tuesday, April 21st, 2009 at 10:56am by

I mean, look at these dudes. They be scary. Like, real “don’t wanna run into these guys in a back alley” scary, not faux “I wear corpsepaint to cover up for my small penis” scary. They nearly fuckin’ made me cry through sheer awesomeness at the 3rd stage of New England Metal & Hardcore Fest this past Friday; a band that bills themselves as “Old School Brutal Style” can’t go wrong. The Destro are at the top of my “psyched for a new album in ’09″ list at the moment; their new record was recorded just prior to NEMHF with Ken “Not a Child Molester” Susi of Unearth fame, so expect that shit to drop on Ironclad / Metal Blade some time this year.

Here’s their video for “Beast Burden” from their debut record released in 2007. I’m pretty sure they’ve got a new bassist now (and possibly even a new drummer) but rest assured the new lineup kicks even more ass than the last. Listen to more of The Destro on Myspace.

    Yea, these guys sound like Pantera…but since when was that a bad thing? Good stuff.

    I dont see how they sound like pantera…more like Terror with some ”meshugguah esk” chugging…not bad, but nothin new.

  • metalguy

    they have pantera riffs but thats it. more of an extreme metal(core) thing to me

  • TIFFANY

    FUCK YEAH

  • Anselmowitz

    Fuckin slammin. A little generic but still got me going.

  • Kurt Kokaine

    If I ran into these guys in a back alley, I’d tell them to find their own dam drinking spot.

  • metalvinny

    New record will crush. These guys are on the list of bands that “aren’t fucking around”.

    lol…i know these dudes personally. i was in a band with the new bass player Brad Kirkland. these guys are anything but scary. if i had kids i’d let The Destro babysit them….for real. coolest dudes you could possibly meet. and the new album is Bad F-N Ass! i’ve listened to the whole albulm. Groovier than the last and probably one of the best albums to come out this year.

    I knew them when they were Sick Hed Tribe…Eric (lead singer) was my friend for a while. They aren’t scary, like cursedrob said. Eric’s ex was a good lay too!
