Destruction - Curse The Gods

Bonus track from The Antichrist, a re-recorded Destruction's classic.
Lyrics:
Allah, Buddha, Jesus Christ
whatever your god may be
forget those idols let me tell you
they're tales of morbid brains
everybody thinks he's right
that his gods are the only truth
fanatic faith, fanatic deeds
join my religion or die
jews killed jesus, christs slaughtered jews
millions die for their faith
each religion prays that killing is a sin
how stupid logic can be
curse the gods
too many people have died
curse the gods
that fools have died for a lie
beware of those fools that keep telling you
god loves you, for you his son died
fuck them- believe in yourself
gods reality is just a lie
curse the gods
too many people have died
curse the gods
that fools have died for a lie

3 versions: All them are insane! Fuck i love this band

[@alisha2921]

This pleases the ears...

[@cagothrash]

ONE OF THE BEST THRASH SONGS AND LYRICS EVER!!!

[@geirholte1222]

The start is so badass

[@Scramble4r]

greatest thrash band ever!

[@cristianarriagada1722]

Destruction Rules!! Masters of Metal !!!

[@SanshinOfStirling]

Love this version. The production is good, but not overdone.

[@donttreadonmetal5073]

Personally, I think this is better than the original.

[@dekapitatorr]

+Dr. Blitzkrieg by mile,Antichrist is one of rare 100/100 albums

[@martingomez9589]

I'm agree with you my brother

[@gravytopic]

@Swiatek702 yeah, dead wrong

[@user-bl9hh1xm9w]

Yeap, l also think The Antichrist is the only absolute masterpiece after their first ‘80s - Early ‘90s albums!

[@henriquemoreira9359]

Soo much better!!

[@aleksanderslizewski8578]

I do believe in the mighty power of the Christian God, and I love this music...

[@carlpage3003]

I do to

[@MaskedRiderChris]

Same here--we don't have to agree with the lyrics to love the music, right? I think this song is about religious extremist/fundamentalist types more than anything else, the types who give those of us that want to live life a better way for us a bad name.

[@WilderAutumnBlaze]

I find those lyrics to be some poor basic adolescent atheism stuff, but they are spitting some facts, and the way the vocalist sings "Allah.... Budha, Jesus Christ", specially "Allah..." alone, like "Halas", screams "Curse... the Gooods!!!!" and then sings "Too many people have died..." is badass, amazing, vicious, make me want to sing too.

[@WilderAutumnBlaze]

For the vocals I am talking about the final Eternal Devastation version.

[@Bravo-ry9st]

Still remember the first time I saw them live late 80s at "The Country Club" Reseda CA. Along with Sepultura & Sodom, if I am not mistaken or going senile at my age. I loved being a teenager in the mid to late 80s. Sorry all other generations after!

[@clasicks6670]

I lived down the street from the country club all my life. I never got to experience all those brutal shows as I was not old enough. I remember when they took it down. Its crazy that so many of my favorite bands played in my hometown and I missed all of it.

[@ricardoreis4078]

nunca deixei de acompanhar o Destruction e já c vão 40anos é uma banda q também ñ canso de ouvir

[@WilderAutumnBlaze]

Muito massa... qual sua música e álbum preferidos? E os menos preferidos?

[@ricardoreis4078]

camarada gosto de todas mas thrash a é foda

[@salottin]

INSANE RIFFS!

[@ctthrasher3953]

thrash never die....

[@ThedrumMachine78]

sounds a bit like late death! :)

[@jiilaa_with_randomness]

Even though was done originally before late Death ;)

[@HipergermanII]

Oh! Yeah! I saw Destruction live! They're brutal thrash metal!!

[@alexsaucedo8032]

Kick ass SONG. And off a good album 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@iaberis]

"that fools have died for a lie" tragic but true... still on going

[@ElAbismo]

Every song I listen to by this band is pure dynamite!!! love it!

[@hyderalw]

just one of those songs you wish you had listened to a long long long long time back ago...

[@blitzshriek999]

@80smetalchild Dude I thought so! That acoustic intro was what I was looking for actually fucking awesome medieval apocalyptic folk

[@sweetdethfromhell]

Destruction is more than metallica will ever be! Long live Destruction!

[@labra-dog]

Musically yeas

[@AnduinRiverBandOfficial]

metallica sucks tbf

[@sweetdethfromhell]

This song is so crazy, it makes me want to scream CURSE THE GODS!!!

[@MetalPersonJ]

There are pros and cons to both versions. The original's sound had character and an atomsphere, but the guitar tone was just too light. Especially when you compare it to Reign In Blood, Pleasure To Kill and other thrash albums. Even Infernal Overkill had a thicker sound than Eternal Devastation. I also am just not convinced of this song coming from Destruction's "black metal" period. Sentence of Death sure, but even if you think Infernal Overkill was black metal, Destruction damn sure isn't a black metal band. On the other hand, while this version has a better overall mix, they don't quite go double-time speed after the intro like they do in the original. That's one of the great speed-ups in metal ever. Here it's more like 1.75 time. Another thing I don't like about this (and again, this can also be applied to modern Destruction performances), is the detuning. Scheepers never sang a single note in Destruction so there's nothing to compensate for it. I also disagree with the idiot notion that tuning down everything makes it "heavier." If that's the case why didn't they do that on Eternal Devastation? Stick to the key of the album, IMO.

[@kirasundberg9643]

the singer may not be able to sing as high as the guitars, so maybe thats why they tuned it down. just a guess though.

[@alvarociprianoflores1676]

As willinkins said, the detunning is due to schmier's not being able to sing as high as he used to. Many Thrash bands has done that overtime.

[@silure9502]

Reign in blood/pleasure to kill got remastered. This did not. They were also a trio back in the day, like sodom. Weaker sound than kreator/slayer because of that

[@Fireglo]

@@silure9502 remastering doesn't make guitars heavier. Also just because Slayer has 4 people doesn't mean all 4 are playing at the same time. Normally one guitar is for the riffs while another only plays the lead parts.

[@Fireglo]

@ObviouslyKieran how is that wrong? That's exactly what I said you fuckwit....

[@tulkasainur]

I believe in God (but I do not believe in religions, and I despise some of them as Catholicism), and I think this song ROCKS.

[@NicholasNguyenVEVO6661]

Chuck Schuldiner

[@farbercasteel]

singing was inspired by Schmier's vocals

[@mtattrain]

If the original version had riffs this heavy, it would sound so much better.

[@noiselabproject9659]

Best version of this tune ! \m/

[@Leonora_Johnson]

🇧🇷 muito bom 👩🏻‍🎤❤️🎸🎶

[@ByOwnZ]

that bass

[@wimdirckx5674]

You 're right.

[@wimdirckx5674]

Hell yeah, You're right.

[@TheMetalWarrior1993]

Seriously how the fuck are people comparing this to Death and Chuck Schuldiner? Not even close...

[@Akirapoet]

Normally, when people haven't listened to many bands they tend to compare with others.

[@MarkusCarkass]

The live versions are always so fucking good. I wish they hadn't fucked up the Eternal Devastation CD with the new version of the song. If you can get a copy of the vinyl, BUY IT!!!!! Priceless!

[@vileksi92]

This is just perfect.

[@madometal]

Man early Destruction is the shit ....this sounds bad ass

[@brankometalac]

Sounds like Death.

[@bladeofwar]

I was gonna say more Sepultura, =D

[@mikeanglada742]

Sepultura meets Death and of course we hear so much Megadeth too... \,,/ Metal!!!

[@alex.fleshripper]

Yeah, the vocals from sound of perseverance

[@Zaratustra_88]

That song could be putting on Spotify.

[@starlight5431]

Schmier still rocks real hard but music wise the original is better.

[@TheShredartist]

Better vocals than the original.

[@user-sf2qz4er1b]

Killing it softly 😂🤩💜

[@thomasackerly7732]

Classic song done over I have regular version of this album. Saw them with Kreator Sodom on this tour USA was very gd tour. Paid $11 for ticket and shirt was $14. It was either late 2001 or early 2002 can't remember no more

[@DUBsekurity]

HOLY FUCK that intro is brutal

[@shanemullen3629]

Holy Shit!

[@Moparmaga-1]

Well put !!!!

[@Moparmaga-1]

Excellent

[@FreshReef]

worse the the original one. The whole atmosphere, riffing, vocal etc. Anyway, this is the legend band which never die!

[@DUGAR]

goooooddddddd!!!!!!!!!

[@SamaelAlastor]

I used this song as ringtone 👍

[@MsLS908]

EARGASM!

[@fardiemann]

bands like Destruction, Kreator and Sodom make german thrash unforgetable!!! \m/ \m/

[@Zaptuss]

2:11 - 2:30 mój ulubiony kawałek, ten riff i wokal rozpierdalają !!

[@warhammer8403]

EARGASM

[@SlimBenaicha]

How stupid logic can be this is the best part of this song

[@EvilViolator124]

This is better than the 2007 version but obviously not as good as the original 1986 version.

[@robson4261]

muito foda muito foda porra esse som e do caralho

[@ligiaminana9185]

ohhh Yeah \m/

[@fullmetalmedia4877]

So damn good.

[@25metalmadness]

long time that noy hear this great song!!

[@MrElpelusa123]

las unicas bandas que siguen siendo chingonas del big 4 americano son slayer y anthrax, megadeth maso pero ya no es lo mismo pero me sigue gustando, y metallica tambien pero ya se me ase demasiado mainstream, del big 4 aleman las cuatro siguen siendo la verga.

[@25metalmadness]

that good lyric!!!

[@user-mz9ig5id3o]

The best version

[@AnduinRiverBandOfficial]

this sounds more like death metal tbh.Still pretty good but I prefer the original from 1986 tbh

[@scott94076]

omg!! no puedo escoger todas me gustan pero son diferentes me quedo con todas ;)

[@N3V3rmor365]

That was harsh i apologize! It is very very good!

[@sweetdethfromhell]

@fardiemann They are the first Most popular and best German thrashers Around!

[@ThrashinB4Fashion]

@kuromomo00 as far as i'm aware it's not a tempo change but just a change of feel. i think it works really well

[@iTxip]

This is my facourite version

[@saransrai106]

waoooo really nic..............

[@metalahhhhhhhhhhhh]

I was in my Anthro class yesterday my teacher was talking about cells and mitosis but all I could think was CURSE THE GODS!!!!!

[@magisterirae]

I love this version!

[@gnusmas1914]

this drummer is fucken great lov it

[@georgimihaylov3746]

The German Machine !

[@washingtonwil66wil60]

Brazil

[@lod340]

the intro it's just fucking awesome!!!!

[@tokomunozlopez5313]

La mejor puta version 🔥

[@lucarappo4607]

masterpiece

[@r34p3r1992]

@ 5:02 the best part of the song comes to .... CURSE ... the gods

[@metal1mark73]

Original version is way better more polished!

[@WilderAutumnBlaze]

Allah, Budha, (Jesus) Christ... Initials are "ABC" or "A.B.C.". I wonder if that was on purpose. Christ Jesus is often mentioned as "Christ" only.

[@DonTheMoron716]

It’s actually Yeshua. You’re making no sense. Yeshua is his name. Christ wasn’t his last name. Christ means “the anointed one”.

[@richis404]

best song ever!

[@Iskarusrecords]

CURSE the GAWWWWDS

[@eveningtsar]

I think the live version from Alive devestation is best ( I think it was alive devestation). Opening riff like a bomb going off. . . there's nothing else like it.

[@shaunhamilton8217]

Fucking awesome song in my not so humble opinion.

[@elperuano0720]

Gran cancion . lml lml

[@N3V3rmor365]

Sucks without the killer classic intro....miss the high screams too!

[@theMETALDOVE]

@OphidianLord TEUTONIC means "german"...destruction are from germany. people are always looking for new genres and sub genres so then they can argue what bands should and shouldn't be there....i call it METAL...the end. you like destruction over kreator....there was a time (mid 80s/early 90s) when they were very competitive

[@kdlmilz99]

This should have nevberbeen done listen yo the original the sound qualiy is so much better

[@aghastinagharta]

@OphidianLord The word "teutonic" has it's roots in history. Check out: en.wikipedia( . )org/wiki/Teutons

[@paolosmith3407]

De ptm!!!

[@AFMacker]

@OphidianLord teutons were the ancient population of germany.

[@danielclayfield4282]

The original has always been the best 😂😂😂🎉

[@fernandoproenca8648]

Fodaaaa!

[@ichalcorpse3662]

thanks to Je Pars already bring me here

[@debgibsonfan]

Agreed.

[@david052cvn]

wow i love destruction

[@fardiemann]

@SlitTheGutsTit have you heard of Tankard?, you should sheck them out because i havent yet :P

[@runalaila9106]

Maybe this is Chuck Schuldiners voice

[@ccpredatormassa]

Thw beeeeest!

[@salottin]

Death is certainly inspired by Destruction

[@debgibsonfan]

Nobody can redo the original classics worth a shit....not even the original bands.

[@partsi66dude]

[@victorcanto]

Um soco na cara hehe

[@MetalGodk]
