German thrash legends DESTRUCTION check in with the following update:

"Destruction will film the video clip, for the new thrash-slasher 'Hate Is My Fuel', this upcoming Friday, December 31st, at the Headbanger's Ball Festival (with VADER, ROTTING CHRIST, DEBAUCHERY, etc.) in Burgdorf/Bern, Switzerland!

ROAX films will produce the clip, which will be released at the beginning of February, in Switzerland and Berlin, Germany!

This time it really make sense to fight yourself into the front row, see you there!!!"

A trailer for Destruction's forthcoming new album, Day Of Reckoning, is now available below.

Destruction are streaming the brand new song called 'The Price' at this location.

The track is from Day Of Reckoning, which will be unleashed in Europe on February 18th, 2011 via Nuclear Blast. A North American release in March is expected.

Destruction recently announce both cover artworks for the slipcase and booklet (the first limited edition of their forthcoming Day Of Reckoning album will not feature the bands logo on the booklet – the vinyl version and second pressing of the CD will show a red band logo on it).

Commented mainman Schmier: “First of all, cause I hear the hardcore fans already complaining, the Destruction skull and the Butcher, can be found in the illustrated booklet of Day Of Reckoning!

The last man on earth, that faces the end of the world, the concept of the album had to have the most evil base with a striking eye-catching look! We decided to not use the classical Butcher-theme on the cover front this time, cause this album needed a malicious look with symbols that express this strong title in the most bold and simple way!

The story line will continue thru the whole coverart and booklet. Gyula a fantastic artist and metalfan from Hungary, was a great help for us with nailing down this concept. It's not the first time we worked with him, he illustrated all our latest releases! Like the band, he breathes, lives and understands the concept of a rather socially critical band like Destruction to the bone!”

In addition, Day Of Reckoning is the first album to feature new drummer Vaaver.

"The new guy behind the drumkit, the hard hitting but well-versed, 6 feet & 6 inch animal Vaaver, took his first album with us as a challenge: no other Destruction album has the fastness, the tightness and crazy double bass and drum-fills as the Day Of Reckoning! That's for fuckin' sure!", Schmier states.
