Advantages Great Thrash Album, Also Very Talented Musicians
Disadvantages Very Underground Band
Annihilator are a Canadian thrash metal band, their debut album Alice In Hell was released in 1989. King Of The Kill is a great album to say the least. Annihilator really did do a great follow up album to Set The World On Fire (1993). King Of The Kill was released in 1994 however it has very late 1980's thrash sound.
'The Box' - This track has a fairly slow beat and is by no means the greatest track on the album, a very rhythm based track.'King Of The Kill' - This track kicks off with a great thrash guitar riff which continues through the verses, the track is very based around this riff. Classic Thrash.
'Hell Is A War' - A Clean ballad style track to begin with, then the a slow thrash rhythm and the track speeds up towards the end.'Bliss' - A Melodic Interlude
'Second To None' - This is a great track and one of my favourites, The thrash riff explodes in with an intense lead solo. About halfway through the track is a great breakdown which is fairly melodic and has a great guitar solo.'Annihilator' - A Great thrash track with plenty of bass, very rhythm based again.
'21' - This Song kicks in with with a killer bass riff which is maintained throughout most of the track. This is another great track.'In The Blood' - A classic ballad from the band.
'Fiasco (Slate)' - '10 second interlude''Fiasco' - Great track with plenty of cool rhythms and strange time signatures. Some awsome soloing for guitarist Jeff Waters.
'Catch The Wind' - A very good instrumental showing the bands musical talent . plenty of great chord progressions very mellow and nice to listen to.'Speed' - Speed is a great track, it has a sort of rock n' roll feel with a very catchy chorus. Again excellent solo's and one of my fav's.
'Bad Child' - Great track to end on very rock style.Detailed Rating

Welcome to Ciao - not really my kind of music if I'm honest and could do with a little more info - how much was it, is it a band - how many members, etc. Lucie xxx
