In support of their forthcoming album, Diabolical, German thrash overlords Destruction will embark on a headlining North American tour this spring with support coming from Nervosa, Sunlord and VX36.
The jaunt kicks off on April 28 in Brooklyn, New York and will make 25 stops in all with the last show set for Spartanburg, South Carolina on May 28. After this conclusion, Destruction will head to Baltimore, Maryland for an appearance at the Maryland Death Fest without their tourmates in tow.
Commenting on the upcoming trek, Destruction leader Schmier said, “Yes, we are super thrilled: the first tour of the new record, Diabolical, will kick off in North America! We could not tour there on the last album because of the pandemic, so we made it a top priority to return as soon as the circumstances would allow us, to play for our American fans again! We are bringing our friends Nervosa along – they are a perfect match! We toured together before and the pits were smoking! They also haven’t toured in the USA or Canada in a long while. This is a killer package and we are super excited! See you all for a serious beating!!!”
Nervosa frontwoman Prika Amaral added, “This will be a super fun tour with legends and friends – Nervosa with Destruction touring for the third time together, but this time in North America, and Nervosa with the new lineup. Be prepared for a thrash massacre! We can’t wait!”
