Deströyer 666 is an extreme metal band formed in 1994 by guitarist K.K. Warslut following his departure from the seminal black metal band Bestial Warlust. Originating in Melbourne, Australia, Deströyer 666 quickly established itself with an aggressive blend of black and thrash metal, beset with a ferocity and intensity that garnered attention across underground metal communities worldwide. Throughout their career, they have been known for their unrelenting speed, powerful riffing, and a consistent anti-religious and warlike imagery that heavily influences their lyrics and aesthetics.

Although the band originated in Australia, members have been a part of different metal scenes due to relocation, including The Netherlands, which has contributed to their international sound and appeal. Over the years, Deströyer 666 has released a series of full-length albums and EPs that showcase their evolution while maintaining a strong identity which has cemented their reputation in the black and thrash metal scene. Notable albums like "Phoenix Rising" and "Cold Steel... For An Iron Age" are considered modern classics in their genre. Their more recent releases, such as "Wildfire" and "Never Surrender", continue to push their music with relentless energy and raw power, confirming Deströyer 666's status as stalwarts of their aggressive musical tradition.
