For those not in the know, the new album ANTI by the South German metal band need2destroy is a milestone in the reinterpretation of crossover, groove, and alternative metal.

It combines aggression, innovation, and familiar elements into a unique sound that is both fresh and catchy. Melodic hook lines, rousing rhythms, and Diego Carabajal’s distinctive voice are the hallmarks of a band whose last album, SHOW from 2019, is rightly considered one of the best releases in the crossover genre.

Dark shadows and deep abysses of humanity and its souls form the foundation of the lyrics, which are conveyed in an authentic way. The music of need2destroy is indescribable, unpredictable – fast, powerful, and full of energy, yet characterized by an unusual lightness.

Indeed, need2destroy defies any kind of categorization, creating an essence from the breadth of the four musicians, whose musical horizons open up a completely new sonic space. The album is a statement against the familiar, an invitation to break with old norms and embrace something new.

1. Thermometer
2. Zombie
3. Welcome Motherfucker
4. Super Pxrnx
5. Psiocótico
6. Preludio
7. Voces Internas
8. Horizonte Sistema
9. Esquizofrénico
10. El Fin
11. El Cielo
12. Bass Interlude

On an album full of power, passion, and energy, they open their new collection on the rhythmically infectious Thermometer and the throaty power of Zombie and then we get the melodical metal rocker Welcome Motherfucker, the full-on industrial metal of Super Pxrnx, the fist-raised, yet melodically sculpted Psiocótico, before the crushing Preludio is upon us.

Along next is the pounding Voces Internas and the emotively-driven rocker Horizonte Sistema and they are in turn backed brilliantly by the catchy strains of the alt-grooved Esquizofrénico, the languishing, yet formidable El Fin, the set rounding out on the crossover, low slung stirring balladry of El Cielo, coming to a close on the short, low ebb of a Bass Interlude.
