Eternal Devastation is the second full-length album by German thrash metal band Destruction, released on July 12, 1986.

It showed that the band, while still rooted in the speed metal/proto-black metal-influenced style of material evident on the Sentence of Death EP and Infernal Overkill, had started moving in the direction of a more contemporary thrash metal style.

This is the last studio album to feature drummer Thomas "Tommy" Sandmann, who left the band later in 1986 and was replaced by Oliver "Olli" Kaiser.

The album was re-released on June 12, 2017.[1]
