 Destruction represents the epitome of musical stagnation in the Thrash field.

 Schmier’s stubbornness in continuing to propose his uncompromising idea of Thrash Metal seems to have no end.

Despite solid production and a few standout tracks, the album suffers from monotony and bland vocals. The band’s refusal to experiment alienates listeners seeking fresh sounds within thrash. While still professional, 'Under Attack' fails to capture the energy of earlier works or break new ground. Explore Destruction's 'Under Attack' and decide if their thrash metal consistency is strength or weakness.

 Sherwood is the guy who organizes and orchestrates the jams, reworks them, and abstracts them; he isolates the components and interrogates them one by one, bending them to his will through the mixer.

 It is the most obvious answer, and the closest to the truth, to what can us white people give to this music? An updated discontent, a new sense of rudimentality, but with fashionable polish for the parties of the new decade.

 The choice of the great filmmaker is radical: his is an anti-epic narrative, anti-heroic, anti-romantic; it is comedic, frivolous, clownish.

 These are nobodies, brains in decay that make their greatest flaw (the lack of compassion) their tool to achieve success, to survive like tigers in the mafia jungle.
