Destroyer was the first album to feature Gaahl and guitarist Tormentor, the only one for T-Reaper and drummer Vrolok, the last to feature Pest until his return in 2008, and the last for drummer Frost until his return in 2004.

The album was re-released in 2006 by Back on Black Records as a gatefold vinyl LP. The subtitle of the album, Or About How to Philosophize with the Hammer, was also the subtitle of Friedrich Nietzsche's book Twilight of the Idols (itself a future Gorgoroth album title).
