Annihilator is a Canadian thrash metal band which debuted with the critically-acclaimed album, Alice in Hell.
[edit] History
Annihilator was started in Ottawa, Canada by Jeff Waters in 1984. He wrote and recorded the song "Annihilator" (different than the track of the same name released on the 1994 album, King of the Kill), with singer John Bates. This original version of "Annihilator" was released on the 2005 album Schizo Deluxe.
Waters and Bates then recruited drummer Paul Malek and bassist Dave Scott. This lineup lasted two years and the tracks written in this period made up a good part of the band's first two albums. Before the release of their debut LP, John Bates and Dave Scott decided to leave the band, citing "artistic differences" and "personality conflicts". Waters relocated to Vancouver where he assembled a whole new line-up, including former D.O.A. member Randy Rampage. Waters has frequently changed Annihilator's line-up, throughout its run, and performed as lead vocalist himself between the albums King of the Kill and Remains and the song Too Far Gone from 2005 album Schizo Deluxe.
