Them Not Me
Them Not Me is an EP by the German thrash metal band Destruction, released on 9 June 1995 through Brain Butcher Compact. It comes from the stretch often called "Neo-Destruction", when original vocalist Marcel "Schmier" Schirmer was no longer in the band and Thomas Rosenmerkel handled the vocals.
It is one of three releases from that period with Rosenmerkel, alongside Destruction and The Least Successful Human Cannonball, and the band does not count them as part of its official discography. For anyone tracing the group's path from the 1980s records such as Infernal Overkill and Release From Agony to the albums that followed, it fills in a curious and often overlooked chapter.
