Limited edition of 1500 numbered copies on silver coloured 180-gram audiophile vinyl. Canada's answer to Metallica? The Eddie Van Halen of thrash metal? Both these terms could have easily applied to Annihilator and it's mastermind, lead guitarist and songwriter Jeff Waters. A fan of both speed metal and classic rock, the Canadian emphasized a flair for both. The fresh invention of Waters' guitar work was a major reason why Annihilator got off to a promising start and have survived to the present, with a dozen or more albums under their belts. THE BEST OF ANNIHILATOR compiles cuts from the band's first three studio albums, a rarities collection, and a live disc, all of which emerged on Roadrunner between 1989 and 1996. There have been many records in the years since, as Annihilator has continued to be one of the few bands to fly the flag for the classic thrash metal sound, earning themselves a devoted following and a regular spot on the European concert and festival circuit. THE BEST OF ANNIHILATOR takes the listener back to the early days of that sound, which stands up to anything else of it's time - and even most metal today. Two albums filled with the best that this band has to offer and for the first time available on vinyl.
