DESTRUCTION – Fast As A Shark (Accept Cover) (Official Visualizer) | Napalm Records

DESTRUCTION’s latest visualizer for “Fast As A Shark,” their killer Accept cover, hits you like a power chord at 3 a.m. It’s as if they’ve taken a ride on the thunderous riffs of Teutonic metal’s golden era and decided, “Yeah, let’s electrify this beast.” You can almost smell the denim and leather through the screen, and if you’re not headbanging by the first minute, check your pulse—you might be a poser.

The video, crafted by Andrea Mantelli, is a wild visual feast for the senses. Mantelli’s imagery pairs perfectly with Destruction’s ear-blasting homage, transforming the frenetic energy of the track into a dynamic visual headspin. You get everything from shredding guitars to explosive graphics that feel like they’re teleporting you to the mosh pits of Wacken. And let’s be clear: this is a band that knows how to pay respect to their influences while making it unmistakably their own—no watered-down homage here.

Then there’s that killer artwork by Gyula Havancsák. It’s almost an album in itself, each piece screaming to be slapped on a patch jacket or tattooed on your soul. If the skill of combining grisly design with raw metal energy was an Olympic sport, Havancsák would be taking the gold. Seriously, his work complements the furious pace of Destruction’s performance, making it not just a cover, but a full-fledged visual-metal experience.

And hey, mark your calendars: The Teutonic 4 are getting back together for ‘Klash of the Ruhrpott’ in July 2024. It’s a reunion metalheads have been craving longer than Axl’s new release. Until then, Destruction is tiding us over with “Birth Of Malice,” dropping March 2025. Something tells me this one will hit harder than a Kris Verwimp berserker charging through a battlefield of riffs.

Finally, let’s give a shoutout to Napalm Records for consistently delivering metal glory. Their lineup is tighter than a vintage Slayer double kick. And you—yes, you, still up trawling Spotify for something heavier—need to check this out. Because bands like Destruction don’t just play metal; they remind you why you fell in love with it in the first place. Tune in, turn up, and let your neighbors know what good taste sounds like.
