Total Destruction is the second studio album by American noise rock band Unsane, released on January 18, 1994, through 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. The album was recorded for $25,000—a comparatively small budget for a major label album—in order to reduce the amount of money Unsane would owe to Atlantic.

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. In 1998, Vox ranked the album's cover artwork at number 41 on its list of the "50 worst album sleeves of all time".
