Dit is toch wel voor mij het meesterwerkje op het gebied van de metal.
Absoluut 1 van de beste metal cd's die ik ooit gehoord heb.
Jeff Waters de gitarist van Annihilator op zijn best zeg.
Wat is die man toch een strakke gitarist.
Luister maar eens naar het nummer "21" dan begrijp je wat ik bedoel.
Voor mij het ultieme metal nummer.

Annihilator were started in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada by Jeff Waters in 1984. He wrote and recorded the song "Annihilator" (different than the track of the same name released on the 1994 album, King of the Kill), with singer John Bates. This original version of "Annihilator" was released on the special edition of the 2005 album Schizo Deluxe.

Waters and Bates then recruited drummer Paul Malek and bassist Dave Scott. This lineup lasted two years and the tracks written in this period made up a good part of the band's first two albums. Before the release of their debut LP, John Bates and Dave Scott decided to leave the band, citing "artistic differences" and "personality conflicts". Waters relocated to Vancouver where he assembled a whole new line-up, including former D.O.A. member Randy Rampage. Waters has frequently changed Annihilator's line-up throughout its run and performed as lead vocalist himself between the albums King of the Kill and Remains, the songs "Holding On" from 2004's All for You, "Too Far Gone" from the 2005 album Schizo Deluxe and "Operation Annihilation" from 2007's Metal. They were managed at one time by Bif Naked's producer / manager , Peter Karroll.

In May 2009, Annihilator ended their nine year relationship with SPV Records. On May 17, 2010. Earache Records released Annihilator's 13th studio album, entitled Annihilator, to positive reviews.
