On this episode of CHRIS AKIN PRESENTS…, Chris sits down with Schmier, the legendary frontman of Destruction, to dive deep into the band’s crushing new album, BIRTH OF MALICE. Schmier pulls no punches as he breaks down the themes behind the record, the struggles European thrash bands faced in the ’80s, and how staying in shape is mandatory to survive the brutal demands of thrash metal.
The two also discuss why Destruction didn’t reach the same heights as their American counterparts, their experiences at Wacken, and the never-ending nightmare of dealing with U.S. VISAs. If you're a true metalhead, you don’t want to miss this raw and unfiltered conversation!
Does Schmier prove that staying in shape is the ultimate thrash metal weapon?

Here's an interview I did with Paul and Gene 20 years ago. Little did I know our relationship would collapse into bitterness and estrangement over my opposition to Tommy and Eric wearing Ace and Peter's makeup. What can I say?
