THE DESTRO – “PERSISTENCE OF IGNORANCE” EXCLUSIVE STREAM

Tuesday, September 15th, 2009 at 1:00pm by

the destro - harmony of discordThe 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.”

    YES IT’S TRUE, THE DESTRO DO INDEED FUCKING RULE.

    THAT AWFUL COVER HOWEVER DOES NOT RULE. IT SUCKS BALLS, AND IS ALMOST ENOUGH TO PUT ME OFF BUYING WHAT IS SURE TO BE A VERY GOOD ALBUM.

    PERHAPS SOMEONE CLOSE TO THE DESTRO COULD HAVE A WORD IN THEIR EAR AND PERSUADE THEM IT’S NOT TOO LATE TO CHANGE THE COVER ART.

    DON’T TELL ME IT’S A MATTER OF COST, A FOLDED SCRAP OF PIZZA BOX, SPRAYPAINTED BLACK WITH THE NAME WRITTEN IN CHALK WOULD BE BETTER THAN THAT MONSTROSITY.

      It’s called a CAPS LOCK button. Press it before posting next time, thanks.

      • http://richarddawkins.net/ RICHARD DAWKINS

        SHUT THE FUCK UP.

        • msv81

          I can’t tell, are you yelling or just too stupid to realize you don’t need to keep the caps lock on to get your point across?

          I assume the latter…

            I AM A WELL-KNOWN PROFESSOR OF EVOLUTIONARY BIOLOGY. I HARDLY THINK I COULD HAVE ACHEIVED THAT IF I WERE ‘STUPID’.

          • msv81

            Hahahaahaa. Riiiiiight, ok then, we’re done here.

    • orbital

      you might not buy an album based on cover art? GTFO

      • http://richarddawkins.net/ RICHARD DAWKINS

        YOU’RE DAMN RIGHT THERE SONNY JIM.

    • http://www.myspace.com/somethinglikesweet CJ

      So, using that logic, if the next Hannah Montana or even Nickleback CD had a cool cover, you’d run right out and buy it, no?

      • http://richarddawkins.net/ RICHARD DAWKINS

        NO, I DON’T THINK THAT WOULD BE USING ANY KIND OF LOGIC AT ALL.

        HOW’S IT GOING CJ? STILL BELIEVING IN JESUS?

        • http://www.myspace.com/somethinglikesweet CJ

          lol Yeah, I still rep. for the Big J. It doesn’t really affect my metal though, so it’s all good.

          • http://richarddawkins.net/ RICHARD DAWKINS

            WELL IF THAT’S WHAT YOU CALL LOGIC WE’RE ALL FUCKED. ‘LOL’ INDEED.

          • http://www.myspace.com/somethinglikesweet CJ

            Says the guy who wont buy a badass CD simply because of the sub-par artwork. You astound me.

          • http://richarddawkins.net/ RICHARD DAWKINS

            GO SUCK ON A BIBLE GOD BOY.

          • http://www.myspace.com/somethinglikesweet CJ

            lol Well that’s a good way to ruin a nice conversation. Now I’m more disappointed in you than astounded. Shame shame.

            Whoa! Pretty sneaky Sis!

        • Nate

          a false richard dawkins???? wtf?

  • http://www.kingdomofnoise.blogspot.com MetalMatt

    How can you judge a band by the cover art? or rather not buy an album based on the cover when you like the music? that’s stupid! Do you sit and stare at the cover while listening to it?
    Fuck you.

    the song does kick some ass.

    • http://richarddawkins.net/ RICHARD DAWKINS

      YES ACTUALLY I DO SIT AND STARE AT THE COVER WHILE LISTENING TO IT. IF IT’S A GOOD ONE.

      I’M HARDLY ‘JUDGING A BAND BY IT’S COVER’, BEING THAT I ALREADY OWN THEIR LAST ALBUM AND ENJOY IT IMMENSELY, I JUST THINK MUSIC THIS GOOD DESERVES A BETTER PACKAGE. LIKE MY PIZZA BOX IDEA.

      WHAT’S WRONG WITH DISPLAYING AN APPRECIATION OF AESTHETICS?

      ON SECOND THOUGHTS I JUST HAD A LOOK AT YOUR ‘KINGDOM OF NOISE’… I CAN SEE AESTHETICS ISN’T REALLY YOUR FORTE.

      • http://www.facebook.com/people/Mathew-James-Saunders/1153389571 Mathew James Saunders

        Aesthetics is completely opinionated, and when it comes to music…there’s been plenty of great sounding albums that have a shitty album cover. Did you catch that word??? SOUNDING!! NOT VIEWING! If you’re normal like most of us, listen to the music for what it is, go to a fucking art gallery if you want to view something aesthetically man.

        • http://richarddawkins.net/ RICHARD DAWKINS

          WELL MATHEW I SUPPOSE THAT WAS A REASONABLY BALANCED AND WELL ARTICULATED RIPOSTE, HOWEVER I AM MERELY TRYING TO STATE THAT THIS BAND DESERVES A FAR BETTER COVER.

          OF COURSE, THE ACTUAL COVER HAS NO EFFECT ON ONE’S ENJOYMENT OF THE MUSIC CONTAINED WITHIN, BUT DOES THAT MEAN WE SHOULD ACCEPT SHODDY ARTWORK REGARDLESS?

          I THINK NOT.

    • http://richarddawkins.net/ RICHARD DAWKINS

      P.S. I NOTICE ON YOUR LITTLE WEBSITE YOU CLAIM TO BE AN ‘EVIL GENIUS’, BUT THERE’S NOTHING PARTICULARLY EVIL ABOUT TWITTER.

      • Ajax

        The internet community has no place for your kind.

        In regards to the artwork, okay, its not the greatest. Someone went through a beginners course in photoshop and did a decent job. And yes, you should ‘ACCEPT SHODDY ARTWORK’ because you have no choice to. You aren’t in the band. You aren’t the manager of it. You have no real say so in what the artwork should look like UNLESS they held a contest saying, hey fans design a cover for our next album art and if we like it we’ll use it. Death’s cover for Leprosy is kind of lame, but they are still one of the greatest death metal bands of all time. You should probably step off of your high horse. I’m sure The Desto isn’t out to just appease you and only you.

        • http://richarddawkins.net/ RICHARD DAWKINS

          THE COVER OF DEATH’S ‘LEPROSY’ IS ONE OF THE GREATEST METAL ALBUM COVERS OF ALL TIME. IF ONLY THIS WAS ANYWHERE NEAR COMPARABLE TO THAT STANDARD!

          BAD EXAMPLE THERE HMM?

          DID YOU KNOW THAT IN ENGLAND, ‘AJAX’ IS THE NAME OF A TOILET CLEANING PRODUCT?

    • http://metalmartyr.com Eric J

      (shhh, don’t feed the troll.)

      This song is fucking badass. “Justifiers of Malice” is even more badass. I am definitely looking forward to this album.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Mathew-James-Saunders/1153389571 Mathew James Saunders

    lmfao…Dude, I just looked up Richard Dawkins on google….
    A. You wouldnt be on this site

    B. You’re 68 years old?

    C. Crack is Wack man…and youve proven that to the general metal public

    • http://richarddawkins.net/ RICHARD DAWKINS

      A. I AM ON THIS FUCKING SITE.

      B. YES, I’M 68 YEARS OLD. SO FUCKING WHAT? HOW OLD ARE YOU? 13?

      C. WHILE I AM QUITE SURE THAT CRACK IS INDEED ‘WACK’, I AM UNCLEAR AS TO HOW I MYSELF HAVE PROVED THIS TO THE ‘GENERAL METAL PUBLIC’ OR HOW IT BEARS ANY RELEVANCE TO THE SUBJECT AT HAND. YOU’VE REALLY GOT ME STUMPED THEIR MY BOY, SORRY!

      • http://www.facebook.com/people/Mathew-James-Saunders/1153389571 Mathew James Saunders

        Yea, im a 6’6″ 13 year old with a beard…and dude, you are some guy on crack trying to impersonate someone who did something with their life, instead of being yourself…put a picture up of you flicking off the camera and we’ll see if its you “Richard.” :D

  • Andrew

    This song sounds like the Acacia Strain. Way to be unoriginal, Destro.

    • GraZmus

      Get your ears checked bud

  • Ajax
    • http://richarddawkins.net/ RICHARD DAWKINS

      WELL LET’S SEE A PHOTO OF YOU THEN YOU LITTLE FUCKER.

      AGEISM IS A TERRIBLE THING.

      • http://richarddawkins.net/ RICHARD DAWKINS

        ….ATHEISM ON THE OTHER HAND IS GREAT FUN.

  • dirk

    ive been waiting for this shit, thanks for posting it….but its a let down from the last album, that shit shreads

  • matt

    it’s okay….not surprising you guys think this band “fucking rule(s)”

  • Clit Banger

    Destro is pretty good, not all that original, but still a pretty good listen. The real moral behind this story is that fuckwits that type in all CAPS are scientifically less relevant than the average human being.

    In the spirit of Google keyword searching, type “Richard Dawkins is” into Google. Some highlights:

    - Richard Dawkins is an idiot
    - Richard Dawkins is a douche
    - Richard Dawkins is going to hell
    - Richard Dawkins is the devil
    - Richard Dawkins is a fool

    So, there ya go, DIck Dawkins can go eat a festering, mouldy, steaming pile of dog shit.

    • http://richarddawkins.net/ RICHARD DAWKINS

      I ASSUME YOU’RE ONE OF THOSE BIBLE-BASHING INBREDS WHO BELIEVE IN A ‘GOD’.

      OH DEAR ME, I’LL TAKE YOU ALL ON.

  • DidgeryDo

    Hey Richard Dawkins. Kanye West blogs in caps. Now if you have any decency your head will explode realizing you bear any similarity to the greatest douche of 2009 and beyond.

    • http://richarddawkins.net/ RICHARD DAWKINS

      LEAVE KANYE OUT OF THIS HE IS A GENTLEMAN AND A VERY MISUNDERSTOOD GENIUS.

  • DidgeryDo

    Now onto Destro. I thought the song was OK. If it is far from their best they could be worth checking out. Is it just me or does the lead singer sound almost identical to the lead of Mudvayne.

  • jason

    Prof Dawkins is probably my favorite troll/poster on this site. He has decimated Ziltoid on many occasions, and for that alone, he has my support. Plus, This cover is pretty weak and I think the pizza box idea is genius.

    • http://richarddawkins.net/ RICHARD DAWKINS

      HEY THANKS, WHY NOT BUY MY NEW BOOK ‘THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH’. IT’S ABOUT EVOLUTION AND SHIT.

      • http://www.myspace.com/ihopeyourot DemiGod

        that has to be the best fucking description of a book ever. that shit better be on the front cover.

        • Chris D.

          If not, MS should adopt it as their slogan for a day.

  • Sandwiches

    Ha ha best fucking comments ever! I’m gonna go order that book now 1000000 to Richard dawkins

  • tallica_fan86

    sounds like gojira

  • http://www.myspace.com/thequarrymusic RJMrgn

    I agree with Prof. Dawkins in that:

    • Destro are pretty awesome.

    • That sleeve art sucks mad bottom.

    • It is a logical fallacy to claim that inability to disprove the existence of something is sufficient grounds for belief in it.

    • http://richarddawkins.net/ RICHARD DAWKINS

      WELL I’M GLAD AT LEAST SOME OF US HERE ARE ON THE SAME WAVE-LENGTH.

      BY THE WAY THIS BAND OF YOURS SOUNDS RATHER GOOD IF I MAY SAY SO, PERHAPS YOU COULD COME AND OPEN FOR ME AT MY NEXT BIG LECTURE IN OXFORD -I PROMISE THERE WILL BE A LOT OF OPEN-MINDED INTELLECTUAL BABES THERE AND PLENTY OF GIN.
