Diabolical is the fifteenth studio album by the German thrash metal band Destruction. It was released on 8 April 2022 through Napalm Records in celebration of the band's 40th anniversary. It is the first album to feature Martin Furia on guitar.
On 16 July 2021, Destruction performed at the Area 53 Festival in Leoben without rhythm guitarist Mike Sifringer. [1] Schmier explained in a Facebook post that Sifringer had not answered his emails and questioned his status, and that there was a problem that led to the decision to continue without him and would release a statement planned for 19 August. [2] Sifringer's departure was confirmed that day and was replaced by new guitarist Martin Furia, followed by the release of a new single titled "State of Apathy", featuring the band's first recording appearance with Furia. [3] On 16 December, a music video of the title track from the sixteenth studio album Diabolical was released. [4]
