ARTIST BIOGRAPHY
Canadian metal band Annihilator is the lifework of guitarist Jeff Waters and they took the metal scene by storm in 1984 with their debut album Alice In Hell. While most late-80’s era metal bands disappeared, Annihilator went on to forge 11 more releases and remaining true to the heavy metal cause. Tours with everyone from Judas Priest to Pantera to Trivium, plus dozens of headlining tours and festivals around the world, have been going on steady since 1989 for this band. Dave Padden is a classic vocalist/guitarist frontman a la James Hetfield and the band is consistently tearing through each release with honest, raw power and energy, along with excellent technical skill and a live show that is considered one of the best in the business. Honest melodic thrash metal. A major influence on countless metal acts and musicians around the world.
