Total Fucking Destruction

Emerging from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the eccentric grindcore act Total Fucking Destruction was established in 1999 by drummer Rich Hoak immediately upon leaving his prior outfit, the legendary grinders Brutal Truth. After eight years marked by a steady stream of demos, singles, EPs, and split-releases, Hoak teamed with partners-in-crime Paul Herzog (guitar, vocals), Steve "Pingdum" Morasco (guitar), and Joe Sweeney (bass, vocals) to issue the band's eclectic debut full-length, Zen and the Art of Total Fucking Destruction, on Translation Loss Records.
