Demented Waters

Canadian thrashers ANNIHILATOR will release their sixteenth studio album, "For The Demented", on November 3 via Neverland Music/Silver Lining Music. The follow-up to 2015's "Suicide Society" will be available in a limited-edition digipack with lenticular cover, a jewel-case CD, a twelve-inch, 180-gram colored vinyl in gatefold and digital download.

Since 1989, Canada’s Annihilator have not stopped putting out records and touring the world. Despite the ever-changing climate of the Metal World (and releasing a series of "different" Metal records with various lineups along the way), Jeff Waters and company have consistently delivered strong albums since the band’s debut "Alice In Hell" (1989).
"For The Demented" (2017) captures some feel from Annihilator’s 1985-87 demos mixed with the first 4 Annihilator records. Back to the thrash meets melody but with some pure Waters guitar riffing, up-graded lead guitar shredding and vocals back to the demo-days meets the "King of The Kill" record.

When you're 36 years and 17 albums deep into your career, it's a pretty safe assumption that you've achieved veteran status. Likewise, the stumbling block of sticking to what one knows becoming self-plagiarism looms all the more, yet for some reason Jeff Waters' flagship thrash metal enterprise Annihilator repeatedly manages to walk that tightrope with few incidents. With the days of 90s groove metal experimentation now two decades in the rearview, it can be safely stated that this outfit, which has tended to flirt with being a two person project with Waters doing it all minus the drums, is poised to make the 2020s a reprise of the consistent foray of technically-charged speed thrashing mayhem that defined the 2010s, at least insofar are Ballistic, Sadistic, Annihilator's 17th studio LP is concerned…
