"The Destroyer" is an album by electronic artist Alec Empire, his first on his own record label Digital Hardcore Recordings, released in 1996 in Europe and a revised version in 1998 in USA. "Destroyer" is also the name given to a series of EPs by Empire released two years before. Unlike his previous albums for Mille Plateaux, "The Destroyer" had a much heavier sound more akin to that of his band Atari Teenage Riot, and is considered as one of the earliest examples of a breakcore record.
