Eternal Devastation is the second full-length album by German thrash metal band Destruction. It was released in 1986. It showed the band had moved away from their previous black metal-influenced style of material evident on the Sentence of Death EP and Infernal Overkill albums, and were headed in the direction of a more contemporary thrash metal style.
Mad Butcher is the second EP by German thrash metal band Destruction, released in 1987. Tommy had left the band and two new members had entered the group: a new drummer, Olli, and a new guitarist, Harry.
"Mad Butcher," the first song of the album, is a Destruction classic, but this revision is faster, with double solos from Harry and Mike. The second song "The Damned" is a cover song from The Plasmatics. The third song "Reject Emotions" is a thrash ballad. Finally, "The Last Judgement" is an instrumental song played by Harry.

Trivia:
The mix referring to tracks from the Eternal Devastation album (tracks 5-11) is different from the original version. In addition to the sound being less polished than the original, here it features the full version of the "intro" by Curse the Gods (including 4 hi-hat beats). This mix was released on all subsequent versions of this compilation but never re-released on other re-releases.
