\nANNIHILATOR<\/strong>\u2013 A name that should not need an introduction in the METAL World but, for those who need one: this is a METAL band that started in Canada in late 1984 and since then, ANNIHILATOR has been touring and releasing records (selling millions of Albums to date), non-stop, for 30 years.\u00a0\u00a0January 24, 2020 marks the release of their 17th<\/sup>Studio Album,\u00a0BALLISTIC, SADISTIC<\/em>.<\/strong>
\n
The belligerent and pugnacious first single,\u00a0\u201cI AM WARFARE\u201d<\/em><\/strong>, is available now and can be streamed\u00a0here<\/a>
\nCited by bands in the likes of Megadeth, Pantera, Dream Theater, Children Of Bodom, Lamb of God, Opeth, Trivium and many, many more as having some influence on their music, guitarist\/vocalist\u00a0JEFF WATERS\u00a0<\/strong>(Annihilator\u2019s founder, producer and song-writer) and ANNIHILATOR have continued to tour the world, year after year, whilst consistently putting\u00a0\u00a0out high-quality true-metal music.
\nWritten, performed, engineered and produced by none other than Waters himself,\u00a0BALLISTIC, SADISTIC\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>was recorded at the brand new, state of the art, WATERSOUND STUDIOS UK, in Durham earlier this year.
\n\u201cAlmost every artist, initially, loves the songs they create. They are like your babies! In my case, it is difficult to be the main writer\/producer and stay fresh, come up with new ideas or make old one\u2019s better and I am well aware of that. Since \u201cwe\u201d love what we do, we can be blinded to just how good or bad a song or record really is. Time will tell.\u00a0\u00a0Press, fans, band members, label, etc\u2026 They ALL will tell you what they think and, in their own ways, they are usually right<\/em>!\u201d Said Waters. \u201cIn this case, I throw that nonsense in the garbage and can tell you that we have made a record that is angry, technical, back to the first 3 records vibes and it is going to be difficult to continue writing another record after releasing this one!!\u00a0\u00a0Best record I\u2019ve made since 2005\u2019s Schizo Deluxe and I think many will argue that this new one is in the top 3. From the \u2018Stonewall-esque\u2019 track \u201cPSYCHO WARD<\/strong>\u201d to the haunting \u201cI AM WARFARE<\/strong>\u201d, the pissed-off \u201cTHE ATTITUDE<\/strong>\u201d to the aggression and old-school technicality of \u201cOUT WITH THE GARBAGE<\/strong>\u201d, the record is like this: take the Alice, Neverland and Set The World On Fire records, make them angry, combine the old-school production with modern hi-tech studio gear, then add the best guitar work I didn\u2019t know I still had in me, and you\u2019ve got the best we could possibly offer. I honestly cannot wait for everyone to hear this.\u201d<\/em>
\nIt takes a long time to reach legendary status, and no one can dispute that ANNIHILATOR and Jeff Waters are inspirations, teachers, legends and a force showing what hard work and love of your craft can bring to the world.\u00a0\u00a0It\u2019s about the music. Nothing else.
\nBALLISTIC, SADISTIC<\/em><\/strong>will be available as a Limited Edition Digipak, Coloured Vinyl and Digital formats.
\nUnstoppable and relentless, ANNIHILATOR will now embark on a 43 date, 18 country, European Tour, which will kick-off at Newcastle\u2019s Riverside on October 12th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n
