Destruction (band) Destruction is a German thrash metal band. They have been referred to as one of the "Big 4" of the German thrash metal scene, the others being Kreator, Sodom and Tankard. Along with Venom (UK), Bathory (Sweden) and Celtic Frost (Switzerland), three of those four German bands (Tankard being the exception) are often credited with helping pioneer black metal, by containing several elements of what was to become the genre. Destruction was originally named Knight of Demon, but changed their name in 1984. For most of the 1990s, Destruction was not signed to a record label and was forced to self-produce their albums until they signed a contract with Nuclear Blast in the early 2000s.

Human Sacrifice (album) Human Sacrifice is the first studio album by the Christian death and thrash metal band Vengeance Rising. It is the first full length Christian thrash metal album as it was released in 1988. Though controversial, "Human Sacrifice" and the following album, "Once Dead" were huge successes in the world of Christian music, making Vengeance Rising one of the few bands in the genre to cross over into the secular music scene. Dave Caughney of "Cross Rhythms" magazine wrote in 1990 that this "legendary classic debut [...] breathed much needed freshness into the somewhat stale white metal (Christian metal) scene". "HM Magazine" editor Doug Van Pelt called "Human Sacrifice" "the most radical Christian album ever released". In 2010, HM ranked "Human Sacrifice" the best Christian metal album of all time on its Top 100 list because it "tilted the Christian metal world on its ear".

ReliXIV ReliXIV is the thirteenth full-length studio album by American thrash metal band Overkill, released in spring 2005. The reason the Roman numeral 14 is included in the title is because the band includes the "Overkill EP" in their lineup of studio albums, which would make this album the 14th by their chronology. It can also be because Overkill released the covers album "Coverkill", which would have been their eleventh studio album. While this diction left it unclear how the title was to be pronounced, Blitz just mentioned it as "Relics" when announcing songs from the album on stage. The album produced the popular "Old School", which has been played at every Overkill show since it was first released. As of late 2007, ReliXIV sold over 16,000 copies in the U.S.

Raise Hell Raise Hell is a thrash metal band from Stockholm, Sweden.

Their second album, "Not Dead Yet", was released in 1999 and produced by Anders Fridén (of In Flames), and was followed by a tour with Destruction. After further touring and appearances at the Wacken Open Air Festival, the group returned to the studio in 2002 for "Wicked Is My Game". Guitarist Jonas von Wowern(Nilsson) did the vocals for the first three albums. In 2002 Jimmy Fjällendahl joined the band as vocalist, so Jonas could focus on playing guitar.
