Hi there, my name is M4L and I was a teenage Annihilatorolic. It's true, even my metal karaoke track was 'Snake In The Grass'. But it's nearly twenty years since "Alice In Hell" came out and we parted shortly after "King Of The Hill" came out. It was just one of those things. We were young, we were looking for different things, we needed to try and find out who we were in the mad old world of metal. And so we moved on with our lives, older and sadder.
But then word started to filter through about the new Annihilator album, to be called "Metal". Can't argue with that. Even through the long journey of Jeff Waters, Annihilator always had a large degree of thrash metal driving things along. There were to be 10 tracks. Which makes it a proper album. Lips from Anvil would be on it. Hold the fort! Damn the torpedoes! Batten down the hatches! Another meaningless exclamation! This could be interesting.
Sure, then they had to go and ruin it, bringing in a special guest for every track. So you get, deep breath. Jeff Loomis (Nevermore), Danko Jones, Angela Gossow (Arch Enemy), Alex Laiho (Children Of Bodom), Anders Bjorler (The Haunted), Michael Amott (Arch Enemy), Jesper Stronblad (In Flames), Corey Beaulieu (Trivium), Jacob Lynam and Willie Adler (Lamb Of God). And Lips from Anvil! Now as you know, all star albums suck. But this one doesn't. In fact, it's the best Annihilator album since, ooh, "Set The World On Fire". But, why oh why, doesn't Anders Bjorler appear on 'Haunted' instead of 'Smother'?
You see, it does exactly what it says on the tin. Metal. Which is what we want. Strangely, the guests don't overshadow some excellent songs, and the whole thing does feel like a proper band, with them incorporating their sound into the song, instead of beating it over the head shouting "me, me, me, I'm in a Metallica tribute band, me, me, me". There is absolutely no reason why you shouldn't buy this album. Best of the best include 'Clown Parade' with Jeff Loomis, 'Operation Annihilation' where Jeff does a vocal turn to show us that on 'Stars In Your Eyes' he is James Hetfieldugh and, of course. the battle cry of metal greats, 'Army Of One', which not only manages to rhyme Megadeth with Black Sabbath, but features Lips! From! Anvil!
A storming release you really need to hear. They're doing a European tour opening for Trivium soon, so get down early. Even if that sounds wrong in my head. So let's call it Trivium closing for Annihilator and be done!

What you always dreamed of: an Annihilator album from which you just can't choose a favourite track because all of them are unique and of the highest quality possible. The names of guest musicians - Jeff Loomis of Nevermore, Corey Beaulieu of Trivium or Angela Gossow of Arch Enemy - may be alluring for young fans of the band but the old school followers will appreciate the fact that "Metal" never ceases to be a coherent, 100% Annihilator product. Songs like "Clown Parade", "Couple Suicide" or "Army of One" will quickly raise your adrenaline level to a maximum - and then you will be left with seven more songs that are just as energetic and inventive as the opening trio.
If you get the limited version of the album, you will also be treated to a "Best Of" bonus CD with tracks from the band's previous albums recorded for SPV.

Alice in Hell is a timeless classic. Carnival Diablos was a damn good show piece for Annihilator. This album is absolutely the best thing that Water's and crew have ever created. This is Heavy Metal, technical, well written, excellent production and superior song writing. There is no stop/start in any of the tracks so the energy flows faultlessly within each track, each of which is a winner. NOT one filler here or weakling amongst the others. A blistering performance by all involved. It is totally worth buying, I have and glad of it. I love Metal and this is just that. I have bought some very good music this year and only Shadows Fall even comes close to being as good. If you say that you are a Metal Head or enjoy the Metal thing then buy this. A first listen winner!!

Good album

Thrash at its finest.
I've always wondered why Annihilator are not a part of 'The Big Four' to make 'The Big Five'. There are plenty of thrash metal bands that should be recognised for how influential... Read more

Avatara's review of Annihilator Metal
Annihilator rocked the boat when they released their first album and a lot of Thrash metal fans were blown away by the perfect marriage of power, melody, speed and heaviness. Read more

Excellent
Having been into Annihilator for almost 20 years this was a 'no-brainer' purchase,the only thing I was wary of was whether this was going to turn into a 'noodlefest' with the guest... Read more
