M-Theory Audio is proud to present a special 25th anniversary vinyl reissue of the classic comeback album by German thrash legends DESTRUCTION, All Hell Breaks Loose, on Nov. 28th. Originally released in 2000, this comeback effort marked the return of founding bassist/vocalist Schmier (Marcel Schirmer) after being absent from the band for over 12 years and the first official DESTRUCTION album since 1990’s Cracked Brain. It was also the return to a classic three-piece lineup and to the band’s Teutonic thrash metal roots. 

Now reissued as a limited (400 copies) 2LP gatefold on tears of blood splatter vinyl. 5 bonus tracks are included on the re-release including DESTRUCTION’s cover of the Metallica classic “Whiplash” and 4 live songs from 2000, including standouts “Mad Butcher” and “Total Desaster.” Pre-order now HERE. Orders ship from US or EU based on where you live, to help avoid delays, damage and customs, tariffs.

Officially licensed from Nuclear Blast Records, All Hell Breaks Loose was produced by the legendary producer Peter Tägtgren (Amon Amarth, Celtic Frost, Sabaton). It features striking artwork from Joachim Luetke, who worked with the band on Release From Agony and Live Without Sense, as well as being known from his work with Dimmu Borgir and Arch Enemy. The album was well received by fans and critics alike and ushered in a career renewal that continues to this date.
