Total Destruction is Unsane's second studio album, first released in Germany in 1993 through a partnership between Matador and Atlantic Records. At the time, Matador and Atlantic had a deal where at the least six albums issued by Matador must be released through Atlantic's promotion system.^[1]

To promote the album, a music video was produced for the track "Body Bomb", in which a disturbed man builds a bomb and blows up a building filled with people. The video was banned from airing on MTV.^[2]

John Bush from Allmusic called it "less compelling than the singles collection" and "too repetitive", adding that "the band has slowed down the rhythms a bit."^[3]
