Was This Review Helpful? Yes No 1 of their best
In my opinion this is one of the best that Destruction has. In fact after Infernal Overkill (which is the best) this is my favorite.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Destruction at their best! Mike & Harry rule!
To me, it's a no-brainer, this is Destructions best album ever! I will go as far as to say it is one of metals greatest albums as well. Release From Agony packs so much detail into under 40 minutes, being quite a progressive work. It can take over a month to catch everything. I think the addition of Harry and Olly were exactly what the band needed. In earlier releases, Mike has some great riffs, but not enough in each song. This problem was definitely solved with the help of Harry. They are one of best guitar duos in metal history. Olly proves to be very quick and creative with the double bass, a bit like Tom Hunting from Exodus, but not as advanced. Schmier, for his style, sounds great, I think his best ever. I love raving about this album because I never get tired of it and listen to it weekly. Every song is awesome. The only downer, the drumming gets a bit too generic on the last two songs, typical 80s, but thats it!
Release From Agony is truly a metal masterpiece. This album really needs more recognition, must have for any thrasher!

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No DEATH METAL CLASSIC
This is one of the best Death Metal albums of the '80's. Destruction influenced many of the outfits around in the last decade and "RELEASE FROM AGONY" has many riffs sure to keep all Metal guitarists busy for hours on end.
Songs to look out for are "Release From Agony", "Sign Of Fear" and "Uncoscious Ruins".
Fast drumming, intense riffs, ripper solos and dark vocals make up a C.D. I highly recommend.

| | Kreator Coma Of Souls CD (1990)
Release From Agony album
$10.45
Although they remained largely without peer when it came to pure Germanic thrash metal, by the time of 1990's Coma of Souls, Kreator's very successful formula had begun to grow a little tired. The fact that they were coming off perhaps their biggest album yet in 1989's Extreme Aggression didn't help matters, and despite its overwhelmingly solid songwriting, Coma of Souls still sounded somewhat repetitive to all but the most unquestioning of fans. Still, better too much of a good thing than nothing at all, and with their head-spinning musicianship and well-chosen stabs at melody, complex moshers like "When the Sun Burns Red," "Angels of Brutality," and the title song are guaranteed to thrill lovers of technically proficient thrash. Two ...

Almost by definition, every musical genre (and the Bay Area thrash metal scene was no exception) is launched by a small number of outstanding artists who go on to inspire a slew of second and third 'tier' acts (read: followers). Inevitably, these followers manage to ape the originators with varying success, only to fall prey to historical ...

| | D R I Dealing With It CD (1985) Bonus Tracks; Reissue; Deluxe Edition
Release From Agony music CDs
$11.15
About two years prior to the groundbreaking release of Dealing With it, D.R.I. was known in their home turf of Texas as a hardcore, left of center, politically driven band. D.R.I. emerged from a Texan music bed often referred to as the "vat" scene (due to the lack of practice space, bands would often rehearse in empty beer vat warehouses). Verbal Abuse, Sick Pleasure, and the Dicks also rose up from the same ranks. Released just two years after Suicidal Tendencies' self-titled debut, another visceral, genre-defining debut of similar ilk, Dealing With it will forever stand as D.R.I.'s most compelling record of their often misguided career. Taking the Suicidal concept one step further, D.R.I.'s hardcore/thrash metal hybrid, Dealing With it reinvented the wheel by combining the humor and politics of Suicidal's debut with the speed and trash of Slayer's early records like Show No Mercy and the Haunting the Chapel EP. Embraced by skaters, punkers, and thrashers alike, ultra-fast songs like "Mad Man" and "Couch Slouch effortlessly alternate with the hilarious, longer, chugga-chugga rants of "Nursing Home Blues" and the monstrous "I Don't Need Society." The latter, featuring the classic rant "Your number's up/you have to go/the system says I told you so/stocked in a plane like a truckload of cattle/thousands of us sent off to die/never really knowing why" culminating with the ever reliable rant, "f**k this system, it can't have ...
| | Ronny Elliott Valentine Roadkill CD (2005)
Release From Agony songs
$11.49
The sixth album from Americana singer/songwriter Ronny Elliott continues along the same dusty backroads as its predecessors. The Florida-based Elliott is a country-tinged rocker in a tradition that ranges from Steve Earle through Townes Van Zandt to Johnny Cash. Elliott's voice, a dry baritone so flat that at times he's as much a talker as a singer, is closest to Cash (although in his higher register, he occasionally sounds bizarrely like Tom Petty), but the no-apologies political stance of much of this album also connects Elliott to Earle's rabble-rousing populism. Although the title suggests a song cycle on faded relationships, nearly half of these 14 songs are pointed commentaries on the state of the nation in the midst of the Iraq War ("No More War," "War-Scarred Horses") and the Bush Administration's desire to quash dissenting voices (the powerful, Phil Ochs-like "I Don't Hear Freedom Ring Anymore"). The centerpiece tracks, however, are the Cash-like ballad "Mr. Edison's Electric Chair," a song one can easily imagine sitting next to the likes of "The Ballad of Ira Hayes," and the lovely, romantic "Walk to the End of the World," which recalls Jimmie Dale Gilmore. A cult hero in the best possible sense of the phrase, Ronny Elliott is too singular an artist to break through to the mainstream, but Valentine ...

| | Darkthrone Plague Wielder CD (2001)
Release From Agony CD music
$11.29
Plaguewielder is the first Darkthrone album in years not to tout itself as "True Norwegian Black Metal." This is a notable point considering that, nine albums into their prolific career (that is, if one's idea of "prolific" is a huge back catalog of nigh-unlistenable garage-quality wedges seemingly recorded on the cheapest Radio Shack boom box possible), Darkthrone has finally started to transcend such self-appointed limitations. Continuing where predecessor Ravishing Grimness left off, Plaguewielder embraces a more coherent direction, incorporating a more straightforward heavy metal influence into their lo-fi "necro" aesthetic, the result being a healthy ...
