DESTRUCTION Releases Cover Of ACCEPT's 'Fast As A Shark'

11 July 2024

German thrash metal veterans DESTRUCTION have released a cover version of ACCEPT's classic song "Fast As A Shark", alongside a new visualizer video.

The song is featured on the two-track 12-inch vinyl in the very limited fan edition, "No Kings - No Masters".

DESTRUCTION bassist/vocalist Schmier states about "Fast As A Shark": "When this song came out in 1982, it changed our world. There it was: The first German speed metal anthem and what an intense harmony solo!!!!

"I still love this track like on the first day I heard it, so to finally cover it was a manifested desire. We did it the DESTRUCTION way, 'cause the original will always be the best version! This is a tribute to one of the originators of heavy music and shows how important this tune was for the whole metal world! Enjoy!"

DESTRUCTION's latest studio album, "Diabolical", came out in April 2022 via Napalm Records.
