by One look/listen at this performance from Annihilator and it’s obvious why this band is Canada’s best-selling heavy metal act. And while the perpetually changing lineup means that everyone in Canada has played in the band at one time or another, Annihilator has strayed very little from their thrash metal roots, which got planted in 1984.
Currently, founding member and the band’s heart and soul, Jeff Waters, and since 2003, Dave Padden, are the only two permanent members of the band. The rest, respectfully, are hired guns that get smuggled around on tour.
After 30 years, Annihilator has released 14 albums on a steady and consistent basis, 2 live albums, 2 EPs, 2 live DVDs, and more. This band proves that slow and steady wins the race. The live performance above is one of those live DVDs, and it can be purchased at Amazon.
A metal bias dictates that “Alison Hell” is the best track in this performance, but there is plenty of wicked thrash to be enjoyed throughout.
