Sick Reviews of our record:

"Aloha Jihad", the new EP from Boston heavy hitters Destruct-A-Thon
makes a strong statement about the current war situation we're so frustrated
with. "449 Billion dollars, 3,760 lives" is one of the repeated lyrics
on the break down in the title track, "count up the lives all of them
died" nuff said!

"Consume With Incisor" has a fast paced thrash momentum
and a nice Sam Black Church breakdown in the middle with guitarist Michelle
adding her excellent vocal abilities to accent this already brutal song.
"Heart Attack" is a faithful cover song by hardcore band Bravado that
D-Thon used to play with on tours past. "Jet Metal Voice Text" is a
(fake?) voicemail threat from Jet of Sam Black Church that makes one
wonder what Duncan did to piss him off so badly. And lastly is the radio
friendly version of "Aloha Jihad".

Clocking in at barely ten minutes this EP makes this
D-Thon fan only drooling for more from one of the best metal bands in
Boston.

Destruct-a-thon's "Aloha Jihad" powerful and cohesive
By David Malachowski, Reviewer 10/17/2008

ARTIST: Destruct-a-thon ALBUM: "Aloha Jihad" This Boston-based punk, metal and thrash band features lead screamer Duncan Johnson, Michele Morgan on guitar, Sean Linehan on bass and Eric O'Brien on drums.

Title track "Aloha Jihad" kicks this collection off with a bang-an atom bomb actually, Its double-time visceral wallop is not for the meek, as Johnson rants about the high cost of war. The album goes from fast to faster with the angry explosion of "Consume With Incisor," while "Heart Attack" (from Long Island's Bravado) is more of a straight-ahead rock song, which shows the band's range.

Powerful, cohesive and not cookie cutter, this crew rocks hard and is going places.

Visit www.destruct-a-thon.com. Destruct-a-thon appears at The Basement, 744 Broadway, Kingston at 9 p.m. Oct. 18.

Aloha Jihad

revieew from metalrage.com

Review By : DemonDust_

Destruct-A-Thon is a four-piece that spawned in the year 2000 to create a furious mixture of punk/hardcore, stoner-rock and thrash metal.

This new EP contains a mere ten minutes of metal attack and is more punk/hardcore orientated. Rock 'n' roll!!

Destruct-A-Thon offer two new songs that are great efforts in fast paced punk/hardcore. The up-tempo bashing and mid-tempo grooves work out really nice. Added to this mix are the familiar hardcore shout-alongs and an aggressive/drunken and sometimes slightly clean sounding vocalist. But they've also decided that their female guitarist could add some clean vocals to the mix, which was a bad call in my opinion. Fortunately this occurs only once.

The band also recorded a cover of the band Bravado from Long Island, whom called it quits in 2003 and with whom Destruct-A-Thon played some shows in the past. The song fits perfectly with the rest of the tracks. To complete the album there are two bonus tracks of which the first is a voice-mail threat message and the second is the radio edit for the title track 'Aloha Jihad'.

Overall it's a nice effort in hardcore rock 'n' roll, I just hope that next time they'll send us a longer effort than this EP!

Aloha Jihad Review from Stoner Rock.com

Destruct-A-Thon - Aloha Jihad

Review by John Pegoraro (StonerRock.com)

Thrashachusetts Records Release date: August 2008

The last recorded material by Massachusetts' Destruct-A-Thon was on frontman Duncan Wilder Johnson's Workaholica three-disc set, released in 2005. The reunited band's Es Muerto ranged from pretty damn good to pretty damn forgettable, which made it pretty damn uneven. Not so with Aloha Jihad. Their two originals play on the group's strengths - thrash, thrash, and more thrash, with just a smidgen of that knucklehead Boston hardcore aesthetic - and prove to be righteously killer (especially the title track, which is a scathing critique of the Bush administration). Their cover of "Heart Attack" (originally by Long Island's Bravado) isn't too bad either, although it lacks the punch as the other two songs (and sometimes seems longer than its 2:06 running time). As for the remaining tracks, the 17 second voicemail message courtesy of Sam Black Church's Jet was amusing the first couple of times I heard it, and I'm not sure why they'd need a "radio edit" of "Aloha Jihad," except maybe to reinforce that it's one hell of a song. A consistent and strong step forward.


Good grief this thrashy hardcore outfit known as Destruct-a-Thon is totally killer. "Aloha Jihad" is a quick EP featuring two brand-new tracks, a cover, and a couple of bonus tracks. The title track is a big 'fuck you' to the Bush administration performed against the backdrop of fast hardcore punk with a firm nod to power violence. Covering Bravado's "Heart Attack" shows how fucking badass this group truly is. And how can you go wrong with the 17-second voice mail blister "Jet Metal Voice Text"? The 'radio edit' of the title track is just as boisterous as the original. This is thrashtastic!
