Evergrey-drummer Jonas Ekdahl is samen met Henrik Danhage, gitarist van Evergrey, en Hammerfall-bassist Fredrik Larsson een side-project begonnen.
"I had come from the previous band that I had before Evergrey, it was heavier. It's just nice having an outlet for that. (...) It's very, very, un-Evergrey. I would say if you'd take like the coldness you have in the black metal stuff and mix it with that Pantera kind of groove. (...) Jonas is there with a lotta fucking blast beats. It's very different. This is a cool thing as well, that probably attracts the Evergrey fan, I don’t know, maybe they'll think this is good as well . . . It's more like Damageplan, Pantera, playing-wise."
Naar verluidt is Death Destruction voorzien van een opmerkelijke leadzanger annex frontman. Hierover vertelt Danhage:
"We have this crazy little kid singing named Jimmy, I mean he's not little, he's young. (...) The singer is awesome. . . The guys from Children Of Bodom were like almost starting to cry (laughs) when they heard that. They were like, 'Oh my god! What the fuck! What's up with this singer?!' The singer is great."
Ekdahl en Danhage hadden met z'n tweeën al elf nummers bedacht en in feite alle tracks opgenomen voordat Fredrik en Jimmy erbij kwamen. Inmiddels lijkt het project een echte band te worden. hier zijn enkele voorproefjes van Death Deastruction te beluisteren en te downloaden.
