One of the first Destruction songs and, in my humble opinion, one
of the best ones. There's also a newer version of the song which
appeared on their '87 EP "Mad Butcher". That version is a bit
different with more riffs and the middle-section is extended with
a solo. Don't worry, I've included all the riffs from the new
version here. Hope you enjoy this.
