"Atomic Winter" is Destiny's second album. Released fall 1988 on both vinyl and CD.Atomic Winter was greeted by just about everyone as a huge improvement over the debut album when it was released in 1988. The bands songwriting was, as it still is, constantly evolving. Add to that the much improved production and Zenny's extraordinary voice, and you have the recipe for a winner. Which it is, quality-wise.

Atomic Winter is an impressive album. Great songs, catchy lines and lots of really heavy choirs. The re-recording of Spellbreaker from Beyond All Sense turns that song into a monster of the same pulsating force as the rest of the material on this record.

Unfortunately, another less-than-serious record company caused this album to plunge the same way as its predecessor: into obscurity, despite ecstatic responses from all major reviewers and his uncle. "I won't waste space with their history, since I need all the space to praise them", a fanzine reviewer wrote. Paul Miller of Kerrang claimed that "Quality of this sort his hard to find" and gave Atomic Winter KKKK½. Domestic reviews were also favourable: "Without doubt one of the most interesting bands" was Tore Lund's (GT) verdict, whereas Fia Persson of Expressen found the album to be "surprisingly fast and good".
