Deztroyer

Deztroyer, a German thrash metal band from Darmstadt, was formed in 1986 by guitarist Uwe Becker and bassist Christoph "Stripe" Schinzel. Initially named Destroyer, the group changed its name to Deztroyer in 1988. The band's early years saw frequent lineup changes and irregular rehearsals. In August 1986, Markus Gnap joined as the new drummer, and Peter "Pete" Kulp became the vocalist. This lineup released several demos, including Homicidal World (1987) and Drink and Forget (1988). In September 1990, Deztroyer recorded their debut album, Climate Change (1991), at the Delta-Studios. The album was initially released with a limited press run of 100 copies due to contractual disputes but was later reissued in higher quantities in 2001 with additional tracks. Deztroyer disbanded in 1991.
