Today, ANNIHILATOR have revealed a second new single, "One to Kill". Listen to the aggressive, pummelling thrash track now via a new lyric video, streaming now at Metal Injection: http://www.metalinjection.net/av/song-premiere/thrash-along-to-annihilators-melodic-new-song-one-to-kill
Guitarist and vocalist Jeff Waters says, "'One To Kill' is about an abusive relationship but the victim finally got out. The abuser had to face a court, was subsequently charged and paid a price. Good. Abuse of women and children is terrible but it also happens, often, to men."

For The Demented is being touted as a definitive and essential ANNIHILATOR album by fans and press alike. Metal-Temple.com calls For The Demented, "...an utmost blessing, a crucial moment in ANNIHILATOR's career..." adding, "...[Jeff] Waters made a genius effort on this one, an official return back to the early days with an eruption of a gruesome attitude, attacking at will...". MetalWani.com says, "For The Demented is a whirlwind listen.... ANNIHILATOR fans were promised a return to the brilliance of the "glory days," and Waters has delivered."
ANNIHILATOR mastermind Jeff Waters felt that with For The Demented, it was time to analyze what fans had been telling him over the years. "It was time to sit down and figure out "why" ANNIHILATOR's early "thrash-meets-melodic" caught the ears of so many and to try to sweep the "fan" part of my writing/playing/singing out the door and welcome back the mostly-original Waters writing that was to be the first four ANNIHILATOR albums... Bottom line, For The Demented captures some feel from ANNIHILATOR's 1985-87 demos mixed with the first four ANNIHILATOR records... I think metal fans are going to hear much of what they have been waiting for from ANNIHILATOR."
Since 1989, Canada's ANNIHILATOR have not stopped putting out records and touring the world. Despite the ever-changing climate of the metal world (and releasing a series of "different" metal records with various lineups along the way), Jeff Waters and company have consistently delivered strong albums since the band's debut Alice In Hell. Then there was 1990's best-selling Never, Neverland, 1995's King of The Kill, Schizo Deluxe in 2005 and many other critically-acclaimed releases up until 2015's Suicide Society. The 'under-the-radar' influence of this band, and writer/guitarist/vocalist Jeff Waters, has been felt throughout the entire realm of the metal world by a ton of well-known musicians and bands; that influence even stretching into the hard rock and instrumentalist genre.
