Authentic vintage original 1986 US Metal Blade Records first pressing vinyl LP of the monumental thrash metal landmark Eternal Devastation by German metal pioneers Destruction (MBR 1074 / RESTLESS 72161-1).

Musical, Creative & Production Highlights:

• Definitive Teutonic Thrash Metal Milestone: Alongside Kreator’s Pleasure to Kill and Sodom’s Obsessed by Cruelty, this 1986 release formed the essential holy trinity of German thrash metal that inspired decades of black, death, and speed metal.

• The Power Trio Lineup: Features the unmistakable razor-sharp riffs of guitarist Mike Sifringer, the frantic drumming of Tommy Sandmann, and the piercing, iconic scream and driving bass of Schmier.

• Mastered by Capitol (US Edition): Pressed from lacquers cut at Capitol Mastering (machine-stamped MASTERED BY CAPITOL in the runouts) with Allied/Rainbo metalwork, delivering crushing analog midrange crunch and razor-sharp treble bite.

• Loaded with Incomparable Thrash Metal Classics:

  • "Curse Of The Gods" (5:53) — immortal acoustic intro leading into one of the most celebrated riffs in metal history.

  • "Life Without Sense" (6:17) — dark, technical thrash masterclass with complex tempo shifts.

  • "United By Hatred" (4:53) — relentless, high-speed aggression.

  • "Eternal Ban" (3:35) — blistering, neck-snapping stage staple.

  • "Upcoming Devastation" (4:00) — explosive instrumental workout.

  • Plus "Confound Games" and the 7-minute epic "Confused Mind".

• Packaging: Housed in its classic picture jacket featuring Sebastian Krüger's iconic tornado artwork on the front and band member portraits on the reverse.
