DESASTER – Long-Running German Black/Thrash Outfit To Unleash Kill All Idols Album In August; “Towards Oblivion” Single Streaming
“While [last album] Churches Without Saints was a rather typical Desaster old-school black-death-thrash metal album, the new one is a bit more diverse,” enthuses founding guitarist Infernal. “Of course, Kill All Idols embodies our classical black/thrash metal approach and the epic parts Desaster is well known for are there as well. But on the other hand, there are parts on the album where our punk roots shine clearer than possibly ever before.”
With a four-year gap elapsing since they dropped Churches Without Saints, fans have had to be patient again but will find the results more than worth the wait. “It does seem to be every four or five years that we release albums now, but I won’t say that’s because of a lack of creativity, rather the obligations the members have outside of the band have grown over the years. But, when the forces come together there’s always magic in the air, which is needed to write strong new songs.”
On the title Kill All Idols singer Sataniac elaborates, “All ‘role models,’ regardless of whether they are politically, religiously, socially, economically, or otherwise motivated, only have their own agenda and their own ‘retention of power’ in mind. The album title is nothing more than an invitation to think for yourself. Or at least to try. Realistically speaking, money is the last remaining deity and the great ‘role model’ for at least large parts of our secular societies. This fact is profound. Money and linear greed are not good, goal-oriented, or even sustainable ‘role models.’ But what can you expect? After all, all of this was produced and churned out in just seven days. Perhaps the almighty creator should have taken a little more time,” he laughs sarcastically.
In advance of the record’s official release, today Desaster delivers the first single, “Towards Oblivion.”
Notes Sataniac, “It’s a general song of praise for homo sapiens, who leave no stone unturned in their quest to be ‘forgotten’ by destroying their own foundations. But we must not forget. We are not in a position to destroy the earth. We can only make this fine habitable zone uninhabitable for ourselves. Isn’t this arrogance that comes before the fall just wonderful?”
Adds Infernal, “‘Towards Oblivion’ was originally called ‘Stormbringers’ and was intended as a speed metal anthem for our fan club. The middle section is based on the song ‘Hellbangers’ from the 2007 Satan’s Soldiers Syndicate album, which also features the Stormbringers in the chorus. The idea of releasing the song in different versions as a 7″ single was not realized and in the end the lyrics and title were changed. ‘Towards Oblivion’ ended up being one of the best songs on the album for me!”
Listen to Desaster’s “Towards Oblivion” below.
Kill All Idols was tracked in the band’s rehearsal room together with their live mixer Jan “Janosch” Gensheimer and mixed and mastered by Greg Wilkinson of Autopsy at his own Earhammer Studio in Oakland, California. Infernal notes, “Greg managed to give our sound a new guise. The collaboration with him was absolutely perfect and we have rarely been so satisfied after an album production.”
