Details:
Riding high on the success of their 1985 Auburn Records debut release âMaximum Destructionâ, Destructor stood poised for global domination. A newly inked major label deal in hand, the band took to the studio in 1987 to record their highly anticipated Island/Auburn Records release âDecibel Casualtiesâ. The momentum came to a screeching halt when, in a chilling twist of fate, the band witnessed the murder of long time friend and Destructor bass player Dave Iannicca. The personal and professional loss was too much to overcome in the years that followed, sending the band into hiatus throughout most of the 90s.

Since reforming and reuniting with Auburn, the band has been very active. Some highlights include:

⢠Released on Auburn the critically acclaimed EPs âSonic Bulletâ (2003) and âStorm Of Steelâ (2007), both titles selling through their initial pressings.
⢠Performed in front of 20,000 European metal fans on the main stage of the Bang Your Head festival in 2004, along with headlining the sold out warm-up show.
⢠2007 highlights include: Headlining the warm-up show and appearing on the main stage at the Keep It True festival in Germany; performing their first show in Belgium with Laaz Rockit; touring the U.S. east coast and Canada with Piledriver; headlining the âMidwest Metal Anthemâ festival in Chicago; and co-headlining the âMetal On Metal 25th Anniversary Concertâ in Cleveland with Raven, Anvil and Piledriver.

âForever In Leatherâ features 11 original tracks of straight ahead, traditional Destructor-style thrash metal. Produced by Breaker guitarist Don Depew, âForever In Leatherâ was recorded at Metro Sync and Noise Floor Studios in Cleveland, Ohio and was mastered by Mark Klein. Aaron "Pants" Sechrist designed the cover art and CD packaging graphics.
