Background
The album's title is taken from a famous quote by J. Robert Oppenheimer about the atomic bomb: "I am become death, destroyer of worlds", which was itself quoted from verse 32 of chapter 11 in the Bhagavad Gita, spoken by Vishnu.
Stylistically, Destroyer of Worlds is a cross between the Viking metal of Bathory's 1988–1991 period and the thrash metal style of Requiem and Octagon. It is Bathory's longest studio album.

gollark: I actually have a log of all the "worthless" ones by accident, so I think this might allow more analysis of what the bees is used to determine bid worthiness.
gollark: How exciting, we're beating the US in deaths per capita!
gollark: Quite plausible, yes.
gollark: Citröns, I appear to be receiving *many* internal server errors from the auction.
