They have released two studio albums, ''Devour the Power'' (2006) and ''Battle Sluts'' (2009), both through Black Market Activities. The band defines their sound as a blend of "elements from the early thrash metal and glam metal bands of the 1980s and 1990s, to the current sounds of Scandinavian melodic death metal and viking metal bands of today."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=About ''Destroy Destroy Destroy'' )〕 Destroy Destroy Destroy played their first show in a pizzeria as opening band for Mastodon.〔 == Musical style and influences == Destroy Destroy Destroy's musical style was described by critics with a variety of music genres, such as, melodic death metal,〔 power metal,〔 symphonic black metal,〔 thrash metal,〔 and viking metal.〔 Chad Bowar of About.com, defined Destroy Destroy Destroy as a "versatile band, which incorporates many genres into their sound" and that "their songs are sometimes orchestral and majestic with lots of keyboards, and other times harsh and intense with blast beats and breakdowns." Bowar noted Destroy Destroy Destroy's musical traits, stating, "The Viking influence comes with spoken word interludes and lyrics talking about battles, mythical beasts and lost worlds. Destroy Destroy Destroy also has a lot of Bay Area thrash influences along with European melodic death stylings. Power metal is another genre their music encompasses with frenetic guitar shredding, epic arrangements and atmospheric keyboards."〔 Allmusic writer Alex Henderson, stated that ''Devour the Power'' "would have been identified as a power metal-oriented disc with progressive metal influences, some thrash () parts and some black metal-style blast beats." Even defining Destroy Destroy Destroy as a symphonic black metal act, Henderson observed, "''Battle Sluts'', like other symphonic black metal discs, was not recorded with black metal purists in mind; Destroy Destroy Destroy aren't pretending to be Gorgoroth or Marduk, and melody is a high priority throughout this Viking-themed outing." Although the band is native of Tennessee, their music "employ the techniques and styles of metal made popular in Europe", specifically the Scandinavian countries like Norway, Sweden, and/or Finland—with a "Nordic-sound", blending "melody and aggression".〔 Destroy Destroy Destroy is compared to bands like Iron Maiden, Queensrÿche, Manowar, Judas Priest, and Dream Theater,〔 citing as influence Metallica and Pantera. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Destroy Destroy Destroy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
