Eternal Devastation is the second full-length album by German thrash metal band Destruction, released on July 12, 1986.
It showed that the band, while still rooted in the speed metal/proto-black metal-influenced style of material evident on the Sentence of Death EP and Infernal Overkill, had started moving in the direction of a more contemporary thrash metal style. It is considered an essential release in the genre.[2]
This is the last studio album to feature drummer Thomas "Tommy" Sandmann, who left the band later in 1986 and was replaced by Oliver "Olli" Kaiser.
The album was re-released on June 12, 2017.[3]
All tracks are written by Destruction.
