[edit] D666
Deströyer 666 are an Australian metal band formed in 1994 by guitarist K.K. Warslut, following his departure from the cult black metal band Bestial Warlust. The project at first was solo but soon picked up other band members. Their sound can be described as a blend between black,death metal, and thrash metal although in recent releases, the band's death metal edge has become more prominent. For example, the album Unchain the Wolves, considered to be their finest by many fans, has a less head-on and aggressive sound than later albums such as Cold Steel... for an Iron Age, which uses a more bombastic and hard-hitting tone. Usual lyrics themes consist of War, Satan, Anti-Christianity, and so on.
[edit] Recent Updates
They have now relocated to The Netherlands. A reissue of their album Cold Steel... for an Iron Age has been scheduled for late 2005. It will featured a picture disk as well as some previously unreleased tracks, including alternate versions of some songs. The band is also working on a new LP containing all of the songs previously released on 7" vinyl.
[edit] Season of Mist
The band has released their last two albums through Season of Mist [1]. They made their most recent North American tour in September and October 2006. [2].
