Annihilator
Metal II (Clear Orange)
Label: Ear Music – 0217012EMU
Annihilator is a Canadian thrash metal band founded in Ottawa in 1984 by guitarist Jeff Waters and vocalist John Bates. They are the highest-selling Canadian thrash metal group in history, having sold more than three million albums worldwide. Fans have been waiting for years and it's finally happening: the much sought-after and previously unavailable Annihilator back-catalogue is getting a series of re-issues via earMUSIC. Metal II stands out as a fully re-recorded, newly mixed by Mike Fraser (AC/DC, Aerosmith and many more) and remastered album in a new line-up, featuring Dave Lombardo (Slayer, Grip Inc. Etc) on drums and Stu Block (Iced Earth) on vocals. The guest list on the album is huge: Willie Adler from Lamb Of God, Alexi Laiho from Children Of Bodom, Steve "Lips" Kudlow from Anvil, Dan Beehler from Exciter, Jesper Strömblad From In Flames - just to name a few.
