Thrash Anthems

Thrash Anthems is an album released by the German thrash metal band Destruction on January 19, 2007. It comprises re-recordings of old songs and two new ones: "Deposition (Your Heads Will Roll)" and "Profanity".

The limited digipak edition includes one bonus track ("Eternal Ban") and a video clip for "Total Desaster". The 2-LP version does not include the bonus track and the running order of the tracks is partly different. A sequel to this album titled Thrash Anthems II was released in November 2017 and features a selection of other classic songs that have been newly re-recorded.
