All Hell Breaks Loose (Destruction album)

All Hell Breaks Loose is the sixth studio album by German thrash metal band Destruction, released on April 25, 2000 by Nuclear Blast. It was the first official album released since Cracked Brain in 1990, and the first with Schmier returning to vocals and bass since Release from Agony in 1987. It also marks the return of the band to a three-piece lineup.

The album also includes a cover of Metallica song "Whiplash".

Album information

Although All Hell Breaks Loose is considered to be a return to form for Destruction, it still retains some of the groove metal influences from the band's 90s releases from their Neo-Destruction period.^[4]
