In a recent episode of the new podcast “Rock Talk,” Schmier, the bassist and vocalist of the legendary German thrash metal band DESTRUCTION, shared his thoughts on the impact of A.I. in music creation. The podcast, hosted by veteran journalist Jadranka Janković Nešić, delves into the evolving landscape of music and the role technology plays in it.

Schmier expressed strong concerns about A.I. music, stating that it essentially appropriates original works. He emphasized the importance of genuine creativity and the unique essence that comes from human musicians. For DESTRUCTION, the commitment to producing full-length albums remains a priority, highlighting their dedication to authentic artistry in a time when many opt for quick, digital releases.

As the conversation unfolded, Schmier’s passion for the craft shone through, reaffirming that the core of heavy metal lies in its originality and the emotional connection it fosters with fans. DESTRUCTION continues to stand firm in their belief that true music should come from the heart, not from algorithms.
