Total Destruction

About Total Destruction

Total Destruction is the second studio album by American noise rock band Unsane, released on January 18, 1994, through Matador and Atlantic Records. At the time, Matador and Atlantic had a deal where at the least six albums issued by Matador must be released through Atlantic's promotion system. The album was recorded for $25,000—a comparatively small budget for a major label album—in order to reduce the amount of money Unsane would owe to Atlantic.

Overview

Total Destruction is Unsane's second studio album, first released in Germany in 1993 through a partnership between Matador and Atlantic Records. At the time, Matador and Atlantic had a deal where at the least six albums issued by Matador must be released through Atlantic's promotion system. To promote the album, a music video was produced for the track "Body Bomb", in which a disturbed man builds a bomb and blows up a building filled with people. The video was banned from airing on MTV. Reception John Bush from Allmusic called it "less compelling than the singles collection" and "too repetitive", adding that "the band has slowed down the rhythms a bit."
