About Destroyer

"Destroyer" is a song by industrial metal band Static-X and the second single from their album Cannibal. The song was released digitally on 13 February 2007. On the U. S. weekly Mainstream Rock chart, it peaked at number 23. The video was filmed on 7 March and, according to band member Wayne Static, it features two roller derby teams and has a 1970s theme. Most of the roller derby girls featured in the video originate from the Central Coast Roller Derby in San Luis Obispo, California. In the video, several illegal roller derby moves are shown - such as clotheslining an opponent and punching during a fight. The band members appear in the video as themselves and other people attending the roller derby, all with penis innuendos for names. Wayne Static appears as the derby's announcer, "Dick Hurtz." Tony Campos and Nick Oshiro are coaches for the two teams, "Mike Rotch" and "Mon Keedick" and Koichi Fukuda appears as a crazed fan, "Don Keedick." On March 20, 2007, Static-X released the "Destroyer EP" exclusively at Hot Topic stores across the United States.

Take it down with a steam hammer
Pack it hard
Lead shot in your mood shooter
Choose your poison
Have a drink with your painkiller
Take us down

Wreck a party like it don't matter
Smash it up
Dead guitar
Broken beat maker
If I could I'd trade it all for an automator
Here it comes

Oh, you do it again
You do it again
Destroyer

Oh, you do it again
You do it again
Destroyer

Cosmo sucker
Bad breath crier
Bad timing robo-crap
You're a great liar
Overdrive
Deep dirt on your shit highway
Black-eyed

Fuzzy filter
Hollow head wobble
Take a trip
Get a grip before you get in trouble
And you wonder why you're called the
Destroyer-stroyer

Oh, you do it again
You do it again
Destroyer
It's coming back again

Oh, you do it again
You do it again
Destroyer

Oh, you do it again
You do it again
Destroyer
It's coming back again

Oh, you do it again
You do it again
Destroyer

Oh, you do it again
You do it again
Destroyer
It's coming back again

Oh, you do it again
You do it again
Destroyer

Take it down with a steam hammer
Pack it hard
Lead shot in your mood shooter
Choose your poison
Have a drink with your painkiller
Take us down
