All Hell Breaks Loose is the sixth studio album by German thrash metal band Destruction, released on 25 April, 2000 by Nuclear Blast. It was the first official album released since Cracked Brain in 1990, and the first with Schmier returning to vocals and bass since Release from Agony in 1988.

Content

Although All Hell Breaks Loose is considered to be a return to thrash metal roots for Destruction, it still retains some of the groove metal influences from the band's 1990s releases from their "Neo-Destruction" period. [6]

Destruction is a German thrash metal band formed in 1982. They are often credited as one of the "Big Four" of the German thrash metal scene, the others being Kreator, Sodom and Tankard. In addition to helping pioneer black metal by containing several elements of what was to become the genre, Destruction was part of the second wave of thrash metal in the mid-to-late 1980s, along with American bands like Testament, Sacred Reich, Death Angel and Dark Angel. For most of the 1990s, the band was not signed to a record label and was forced to self-produce their albums until they signed a contract with Nuclear Blast in the early 2000s.
