German thrash titans DESTRUCTION are set to unleash their 17th studio album, Born to Perish, on August 9th, 2019 via Nuclear Blast Records.
Today, the band has released a guitar playthrough video for the second single“Betrayal“.
The video can be seen here: https://youtu.be/QIaTIYG2r-M
Original shredder Mike says: “This is a classic thrasher with a lots of tempo changes and an evil middle part! The drums are a really interesting part of the song – Randy kills it. During the solo we have my unrelenting style and Damir’s crazy shredding, which is beyond good and evil! It fits perfectly together – we hope you enjoy the playthrough!”
New axeman Damir states: “BETRAYAL is my personal highlight of the new record! I love the rhythmical changes and the variety but the song always stays true to the roots! Of course the solo duel is another climax of this new DESTRUCTION anthem, I love it!”
