Anzi Destruction  - High Clash Motherf***er Album

Once again Finland is responsible for bringing us a great musician. This time I’m going to tell you about Anzi Destruction: musician, composer and producer. As you can imagine, Trent Reznor has made several disciples overseas and Anzi can be taken as one of them for sure.

Part of the Rock scene since the 90’s Anzi has been a member of the Plastic Trees (1999) and former frontman of the Stereo Junks! (2003-2010) and now on his solo act – released in 4th April 2011- he greets us with an album filled with a unique combination of Industrial and Alternative Rock  under a real Punk Rock attitude. He’s also have headlined some festivals in Finland like the TrashFest’s 2008/2009/2010 editions and Guilfest Festival 2011 in the UK.

Playing most of the instruments himself, Anzi Destruction also takes on the production, composition and mixing on “High Clash MotherF***er” a work done at his domain: the Chemistry Farm studios, a 200 hundred y/o barn in the heart of a Finnish Forest. This album also counts some special contributions from Rory Winston (lyrics), V for Violence/Salvation’s Mr. Kunt and Private Line’s Elias Lógren both on drums.
