Ο Nick Giannakos που προφανώς έχει Ελληνική ρίζα είναι Αμερικανός κιθαρίστας, ο οποίος έχει σημαντική παρουσία στον χώρο της underground metal σκηνής των Η.Π.Α. Οι μυημένοι στη σκηνή αυτή, σίγουρα θα γνωρίζουν συγκροτήματα όπως οι power/thrashers WRETCH και DESTRUCTOR, τους heavy metallers BREAKER και τους TWIST OF FATE οι οποίοι κινούνται σε πιο progressive metal φόρμες. Ε, λοιπόν σε όλα αυτά τα συγκροτήματα είναι ή υπήρξε μέλος ο Nick Giannakos. Κάτι που δείχνει και τις δυνατότητες του ως μουσικού. Να μπορεί, δηλαδή, να κινείται σε διάφορα είδη της metal μουσικής.
DESTRUCTION - Born To Perish
Nuclear
Blast
Well, there really hasn't been much progression (musically) with Destruction for a long while, Hence the "C" rating on this album. Ever since Schmier re-joined the band, they had a couple of good releases namely 'All Hell Breaks Loose', 'The Antichrist' and the compilation 'Thrash Anthems'. Other than that, there really are no innovative riffs like they used to have with say "Mad Butcher" (song) or older albums like 'Release From Agony' and a classic 'Infernal Overkill'. When Harry was on lead the band was at its pinnacle. Without lineup changes and the 90's only producing maybe one good release with a different vocalist on 'Cracked Brain'. That's about it.
