Under Attack

Released13 May 2016
Popularity26.6

Under Attack is Destruction's thirteenth studio album, released on 13 May 2016 through Nuclear Blast. It is a thrash metal record from the German band, who had been making albums since Infernal Overkill in 1985.

It arrived four years after Spiritual Genocide and was followed by Thrash Anthems II in 2017. For anyone tracing the band's story through the 2010s, it sits in the middle of a steady run of releases that carried their 1980s thrash approach well into the modern era.
