With 2002's "Cold Steel... for an Iron Age", Black/Thrash metallers DESTRÖYER 666 continued their steep climb in the favour of fans and critics alike. The Australian warmongers were received with praise like "Hail and kill indeed" in a 9/10 review from Terrorizer or described like "Deströyer 666 offer the best of their Black/Thrash know-how, refined with the usual Australian vice" in Rock Hard FR (8/10). With time its impact even grew as Encyclopaedia Metallum now awards this album a 100% review twice, while saying: "Cold Steel is pretty much a perfect album. It is fast, intense, and aggressive and most of all, incredibly infectious"!
On next December 9th, this modern classic will be re-released in an irresistible package. The new version not only includes the bonus track "The Dragon", but the Australians also treated their masterpiece to a spectacular brand-new graphic design with liner notes. This is clearly a must have for all DESTRÖYER 666 fans!

New confirmations:
MILKING THE GOATMACHINE
There’s no end of this goat-madness in sight! On 18th November 2011 the alien goat-horde of MILKING THE GOATMACHINE will send their newest brutal opus titled “Clockwork Udder” to planet Earth mailed by NoiseArt-Records and stamped with the best death/grind-greetings from planet GoatEborg. Habitually this animal round dance produced a masterpiece of goat-music with most violent ingredients such as massive guitars, hearty “goatdowns”, opulent moshparts and endless grindcore-slaughters. Besides the horned flock already announced its return to Earth for another “back for goat”: MILKING THE GOATMACHINE will kick your human-asses at EXTREMEFEST!
DESTRÖYER 666
The metalheads’ wolf-blood starts to boil! Hailing from Australia’s outback, the thrash-horde of DESTRÖYER 666 will join EXTREMEFEST to crush your skulls with massive bludgeon-sounds. Once risen out of ashes of the ingenious underground cult-combo Bestial Warlust, these dark warriors sold their souls in the mid-nineties to superb black/thrash metal and produce demonical hymns continuously. Their legendary killer-albums like “Phoenix Rising”, “Cold Steel… For An Iron Age” and their last opus “Defiance” are true evidences for. So get prepared for this inhuman live-assault!
