German metal legends Destruction will join forces with Flotsam And Jetsam, Enforcer, and Nervosa for the Europe Under Attack 2016 tour, set to launch in Switzerland in September.

Destruction mastermind Schmier states: "I'm totally thrilled that we got this amazing package together, when you go on tour you wanna give the fans the best they deserve: Nervosa - for me he best extreme female metal band by far, Enforcer are my fave metal outfit with this pure 80s touch and Flotsam And Jetsam are back stronger than ever, we are old mates, finally we will our together again! I can't wait to see thrashers and metalheads united this autumn, to party, mosh and bang with us - oh yes, sometimes it's really great to be a metal fan and play in a band - FUCK YEAH! See you ALL soon at the best party around!"

Flotsam And Jetsam comments: “This tour is going to be an absolute thrash fest! Flotsam And Jetsam is honoured to support the legendary Destruction, one of the strongest thrash bands to ever come out of Europe. We can t think of anything better for this fall than getting back to our friends and fans in Europe for a month, hitting the stage and the streets with Schmier, Mike, and Vaaver, the Enforcer crew, and Fernanda and the women of Nervosa, night after night. If that doesn't sound like trouble, we don't know what does!”

Enforcer adds: "Extremely excited to take a break in our new album process to go out on another European tour with our childhood heroes in Destruction and Flotsam And Jetsam. 100% total metal madness guaranteed! Don't miss out on the heaviest tour of the year."

Nervosa says about the tour: "This is gonna be a badass thrash tour! Destruction has always been a huge influence for us and now touring with them is gonna be a hell of a dream come true!"

Comments Schemer: "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!"
