DESTRUCTION is an institution! And they are coming to play in Sofia on Friday. Last night, we called big guy Schmier – frontman of the power thrash trio and he’s coughing.

an interview conducted by Vassil Varbanov

HEY SCHMIER MY MAN, WHERE IS THIS BAD COUGH COMING FROM?
It’s fucking raining cats and dogs here, man! It’s bad weather, we are in fucking Italy, so what the fuck is wrong? But everything is going well, tour is going good. Looking forward to comeback to Sofia, man.

ANY SURPRISES FOR THE SHOW ON FRIDAY?
Oh, we are going to have a long show! It’s the best of Destruction of 25 years, so we are going to play some songs we never played before in Bulgaria, so it’s going to be great!

BUT YOU ARE IN A GOOD SHAPE, NEVER MIND THE BAD WEATHER, RIGHT?
Yeah yeah, we’ve been playing a lot in the last couple of months. It’s sort of part of the World tour. And we are all in good shape, the band is tight as always and we are looking forward to come back to Sofia because we only played Sofia one time, and that’s already 5 years ago or something (11.01.2005). So it was fucking time to return! It’s not that I don’t like to play in Kavarna, you know but it’s time for us to come to Sofia.

OK, IT WAS A SHORT ONE! JUST TO CHECK EVERYTHING’S FINE AND WE DEFFINATELY CAN’T WAIT TO SEE YOU BACK IN SOFIA…
Oh, we are fucking burning as fire to come back, believe me. Bulgaria for us is always a very special show! Fans are very dedicated and there are a lot of great thrash maniacs there so for sure it’s going to be a gig to remember!
