"I fired up Cubase 4, plugged in, and recorded clean throught the Interface... UNBELIEVABLE! I am never going to get any writing done! The clean tones alone are worth $20,000. Well done!"

“When people ask me what kind of heavy metal we play, I can only say: all kinds, from thrash, speed and death through jazz and blues to ballads. There’s no limit for us.”

Annihilator, led by guitarist/songwriter/engineer/mixer/producer Jeff Waters, has been hammering away at the European and Asian metal markets for more than a decade. With well over 1 million units sold, Annihilator has shared the stage with metal superstars such as Judas Priest, Pantera, and Trivium on 22 tours as well as many international headline runs. In 2007 alone, the band chalked up more than one hundred performances, including a month-long trek through Europe with fellow metal comrades Iced Earth.

Jeff Waters is considered by many to be one of the most important and influential metal guitarists of our time. His keen rhythmic sense, unique mix of dynamism and intricate detail, wealth of ideas, and innate feel for hooks and riffs have had a lasting influence on countless young musicians. Annihilator has 12 releases to its credit, from 1989’s debut Alice In Hell to the mega-successful Never, Neverland to the European/Asian hit King Of The Kill. Annihilator’s latest release Metal features guest appearances by a slew of giants of the genre, including Children of Bodom’s Alex Laiho, Danko Jones, drum legend Mike Mangini, and Jacob Lynam, as well as members of Arch Enemy, Lamb of God, The Haunted, Trivium, and more.
