The music documentary “The Art of Destruction” about the legendary thrash metal band Destruction is now available on DVD from the label NONFY Documentaries, as well as via download and streaming portals.
Founded in Weil am Rhein in 1982, thrash metal band Destruction ranks alongside Kreator, Sodom, and Tankard as one of the “Big Four” of German thrash metal. With their uncompromising music and energetic live performances, they have won millions of fans worldwide and released numerous albums that are considered classics of the genre.
Der Dokumentarfilm “The Art of Destruction” von Ili Jelusic und Denise Dörner bietet einen einzigartigen Einblick hinter die Kulissen dieser einflussreichen Band. Sänger Schmier und Gitarrist Mike, beide Mitte 50, stehen am Übergang zu einem neuen Lebensabschnitt und träumen von einer gemeinsamen Welttournee mit Sodom und Kreator. Doch unerwartete Ereignisse stellen ihre Pläne infrage und bedrohen die Existenz der Band.
Over a period of five years, the filmmakers accompanied the band and collected exclusive material that sets it apart from traditional, interview-heavy documentaries. In reportage-style scenes, viewers are immersed in the world of Destruction and experience firsthand the highs and lows of life as a heavy metal musician—from performances in small, sweaty clubs to huge open-air stages. Schmier always stays true to his convictions and guides the band through all the challenges. “The Art of Destruction” uncompromisingly shows what it means to live a life dedicated to heavy metal, offering intimate insights into the passion and fighting spirit of one of the most influential bands in thrash metal.
