DESTRUCTION: Lyric Video For 'Generation Nevermore' Song

The official lyric video for the song “Generation Nevermore” from German thrashers DESTRUCTION can be seen below. The track is taken from the band’s latest album, “Under Attack”, which was released on May 13 via Nuclear Blast.

DESTRUCTION frontman Schmier states: “Did you ever ask yourself how is it possible that the global population just loves to make cash with killing our planet and our fellowmen and doesn’t give a fuck? Where is the wake-up call of our political leaders in charge? Mankind does not really wanna have a look in the mirror ’till it’s too late … and this is an angry thrash song about that sad fact!”

DESTRUCTION started recording “Under Attack” after the summer festivals last year and tracked segments in various studios between September 2015 and January 2016. They completed the drum recordings with Martin Buchwalter at Gernhart Studios in Germany, and mixed and mastered with VO Pulver at Little Creek Studios in Switzerland.

Schmier stated about the making of “Under Attack”: “We really took our time for this album. After the summer festivals, we went into the studio every couple of weeks to record brand new songs and ideas in between all the touring activities. We took several studio sessions instead of one long one, to keep the ideas fresh and have time later before the mix to change bits and pieces that we did not like. Maybe this was the most effective writing we did in the last years! Due the fact we had more time in between the albums, there was a lot of musical output and creativity, but also less pressure. From my point of view, you can definitely hear the crispiness in the songwriting and the kick-ass attitude we brought from the shows into the studio. The ‘on tour into the studio on tour mode’ was so effective that I wanna keep this method for the future!”

Regarding the “Under Attack” artwork, Schmier said: “I had the vision of the exploding earth with the DESTRUCTION skull as continents before we even had the title.

“Never has the earth and every individual been so under attack: whether it’s environmental issues, wars or politics and media madness, we just destroy everything that we love!

“The cover brings together the classical concepts of the band’s history and fits in well with the discography… but, unfortunately, it also represents the current state of the world today!”
