Annihilator is the most successful Canadian Heavy Metal/Trash band of all times and one of the most influential pioneers of trash metal worldwide. The band's success speaks for itself, distinguished by superior live shows and especially Jeff Waters, who takes on the role of guitarist, vocalist, studio bassist, songwriter, producer, as well as mix and mastering engineer - quite an all-rounder.
This reissue series revisits a pivotal era in Annihilator’s history, bringing 'King Of The Kill', 'Refresh The Demon' and 'Remains' back to life. Spanning the mid-to-late ’90s, these albums capture Jeff Waters’ evolution as a songwriter, guitarist, and producer - balancing thrash intensity with melody, experimentation, and groove. This reissue series highlights a band that refused to stand still.
'King Of The Kill', originally released in 1994 was the full expression of Annihilator’s potential to enchant and to entertain. It was a comeback and rebirth of a leaner Annihilator impervious to the shifting sands of the industry, and it established Jeff Waters as a guitar-slinging/song writing titan in a time of great uncertainty. Annihilator, finally, had arrived.
