On their self-titled Victory Records debut, these Iowa natives show that the early noughties aren’t over yet. With a sound that’s heavily influenced byt the likes of Drowning Pool and Disturbed, Destrophy uses the nu metal groove, throws in some catchy choruses and then calls it a day.

I’m not sure if this band really is no good or if I just can’t be bothered with listening to this kinda thing anymore. If you’re into jock-metal, you might want to check these guys out. If not, walk away from it.

With other recent Victory signings including Otep and Taproot, it looks like Brummel & co are planning to re-launch nu metal in 2010. Let’s hope that I’m wrong!
