They are notoriously different from their other mathcore counterparts, opting to shy away from spazz noise riffs and instead having highly detuned tech songs (with the help of 7 string guitars) backed with odd time signatures and polyrhythms. DD released their first ep "The Spiderbear Tales" as a split with grindcore band Vessels Cast From Crippled Hands and were then signed to Debello. Soon after, they released the ep "The Dead Sleep Like Us For A Reason" which was bought with much acclaim in the underground scene. Recently, Destroyer Destroyer has left Debello in favor of a three album contract with Goodfellow Records, where they plan to tour with fellow labelmates The Handshake Murders. Destroyer Destroyer has currently completed their newest album, "Littered With Arrows", and plan to release it on October 17, 2007.

live.

The lyrics of Don't Be Ridiculous Doctor by Destroyer Destroyer are both intriguing and cryptic. The opening line "Get your affairs in order" suggests a somber tone, as if the person being addressed is facing their imminent death. The lyrics then take an unexpected turn, accusing the person of being "infected with a rare case of homogony". The use of the term "homogony" is interesting, as it is not a commonly used word. It can refer to the state of being similar or identical, which suggests that the person in question is not unique, but rather conforms to societal norms.

The lyrics further suggest that being "homogeneous" is a negative thing, as the line "We humans aren't that simple" implies that being too similar is a limitation. The line "take it back, naive!" suggests that the person being addressed may have made a mistake, potentially by conforming too much. The lyrics also suggest a sense of resignation, as the line "Don't blame me, I'm inadequate" suggests that the singer is unable to make a difference. The final line, "You have zero days to live," brings the song back to a sense of finality and hints that the person being addressed is facing the consequences of their homogeneity.
