More |Destructor |Warhead Music LLP


Release Date March 6th, 2026
Format CD/Vinyl/Digital
Genre Heavy Metal, NWOBHM
Country United Kingdom

Formed in London back in 1979, More rose up during the classic wave of British heavy metal. They dropped "Warhead" in 1981 and "Blood And Thunder" in 1982, touring with heavyweights like Iron Maiden and hitting the stage at Monsters Of Rock. Decades rolled on, bringing lineup shifts and label friction, dragging the group through the mud. Now, with Mike Freeland on vocals, Peter Welsh on guitar, Baz Nicholls on bass, and Steve Rix on drums, they return swinging. "Destructor" is their third full-length album, dropping under their own Warhead Music LLP label.

The sonic attack of "Destructor" comes straight from the hands of the late Chris Tsangarides, marking his final production work before he passed away. He actually played guitar during these sessions, weaving his famous Vortex system into the massive riffs. The mixes sat rotting on a forgotten USB drive for years until the band rescued them, eventually handing the tracks to mastering engineer Maor Appelbaum in Los Angeles. The resulting sound is absolutely punishing, giving the guitars a serious metallic punch. The tones are huge, letting the drums crash with absolute aggression.

"Hearts On Fire" blasts open the gates with themes of fighting cancer and refusing to surrender. It delivers serious riffage, marching forward like a tank. Songs like "Rocquiem" and "Scream" follow up with ripping solos and pounding rhythms that demand some serious headbanging. There is no messing around here coz the vocals soar over the crashing cymbals, demanding full attention from anyone in the room. The guitar work shreds across the entire album, delivering face-melting speed and crushing grooves. Every riff smashes the listener squarely in the jaw.

More returns throwing heavy punches. They came back after forty years to deliver genuine heavy metal thunder. "Wolf Behind Your Eyes" and the title track "Destructor" tear through the speakers with pure adrenaline. This lineup channels the true spirit of underground metal. It rocks furiously, sounding gigantic and ruthless from the first second. The execution is lethal, proving these veterans still have absolute fire running through their veins.

Score: 8.0
