Canada's answer to Metallica? The Eddie Van Halen of thrash metal? Both terms could easily apply to Annihilator and their mastermind, lead guitarist and songwriter Jeff Waters. The Canadian is a fan of both speed metal and classic rock and has a flair for both. The fresh invention of Waters' guitar work was a major reason why Annihilator got off to a promising start and have survived to this day with more than a dozen albums under their belt.
“The Best Of Annihilator” brings together selections from the band's first three studio albums, a rarities collection and a live disc, all released on Roadrunner between 1989 and 1996. In the years that followed, there were many more albums, as Annihilator is still one of the few bands to fly the flag for the classic thrash metal sound and has earned a loyal fan base and a permanent place on European concert and festival stages. “The Best Of Annihilator” takes the listener back to the beginnings of this sound, which can compete with everything else of its time - and even with most of today's metal. Two albums filled with the best this band has to offer, and available on vinyl for the first time.
“The Best Of Annihilator” is available in a limited, numbered edition of 1500 copies on silver colored vinyl.
