Desaster - Towards Oblivion (Official)

Buy here: http://www.metalblade.com/desaster Since 1989 Germany's Desaster have been churning out their unique and unholy blend of extreme metal, and in 2025 they return with their 10th studio album, the programmatically entitled Kill All Idols. "While Churches Without Saints was a rather typical Desaster old school black-death-thrash metal album, the new one is a bit more diverse" enthuses guitarist and founder member 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's parts on the album where our punk roots shine clearer than possibly ever before." The record was again tracked in the band's rehearsal room together with their live mixer Jan "Janosch" Gensheimer. "Well, we have a huge rehearsal room. It's not only used for songwriting, laughing, drinking, smoking, crying, playing darts, but also, at the end of the day, for recording an album. It's cheaper and easier, because the familiar surroundings are less stressful. Janosch Gensheimer, who has already made a name for himself for doing our sound live was forced to record our misdeeds on the hard disk." Kill All Idols was mixed and mastered by none other than Greg Wilkinson of Autopsy at his Earhammer studio in Oakland, California. Infernal explains further: "This time we started an experiment to decide which producer could best realize the DESASTER sound in the year 2025. In the end, all four test mixes were very good and there were some heated discussions internally, as of course every band member has their own sound ideas and, despite all objectivity, individual taste is always the deciding factor. In the end, we gave Greg the nod because he created a sound that was perhaps a little atypical for DESASTER, but which we really wanted for the 10th studio album. Nothing is more boring than all these album productions that all sound the same. Almost all DESASTER albums have a different sound and 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."
