May 31, 2011, 13 years ago
German thrash legends DESTRUCTION are confirmed for Roque al Parque (Rock In The Park) Festival, taking place July 2nd in Bogota, Columbia.
Columbia has always been a big highlight in Destruction's touring history. Frontman Schmier states: "We had some of the craziest and most emotional moments in our career in Columbia. Starting with the euphoria on our comeback shows there, even if everybody warned us not to go at this point cause of the political circumstances at that time, the loss of power and lights during shows including amazing 'LUCE -LUCE' - chants during the whole blackout show, to the sold out shows of total ectasy in Bogota and Cali. The Rock In The Park Festival will sure mark one of the total highlights of this years busy touring schedule! Colombia loves German thrash and Destruction loves Colombia. This love will never die!"
Tour promoter Rock The Nation has announced the early details of Thrashfest Classics featuring EXODUS performing Bonded By Blood, Pleasure Of The Flesh and Fabulous Disaster, Destuction performing Sentence Of Death and Infernal Overkill and HEATHEN performing Breaking The Silence and Victims Of Deception. Tour dates will be announced soon and a headliner will be revealed August 20th.
A press release from Rock The Nation reads:
"Back to the '80s, back to the roots! Rock The Nation turns back the time for headbangers, catapulting you back into the glorious '80s – the unforgettable days of prime for thrash metal - with a phenomenal package of top-acts. Hardly another period of time carries so much metal-history with it than this one. Rough, rapid and impulsive sounds dominated the whole music-industry at that time. Breath-taking masterpieces of metallic art, which still enjoy authority and significance these days, emerged out of the creative urge of charismatic musicians and bands. Now the time is right to let the flair, the feeling and the sounds rise again! Thrashfest Classics is a pure celebration for the high-culture of thrash metal. Some of the most influential combos will perform their cult-albums in full length."For more info visit Thrashfest.eu.
