Annihilator is one of the few big thrash metal bands from the
80's who are still alive today. If you have an interest for bands like
Testament, Anthrax and Exodus you probably already know of this Canadian band.
With the new vocalist Joe Comeau (Overkill, Liege Lord) the band is back again
and their new album is one of the best classic thrash metal albums I've heard
in a long time. The difference between the Trans-Atlantic bands and the
European thrash metal bands like Kreator, Destruction and Sodom is that
Annihilator and their likes are a lot cleaner. There are no real black or
death metal resemblances to be found here. On "Carnival Diablos" you will
instead find influences from hard rock and classic metal which makes it score
very high in my book. The genuine metal feeling is very rare to find on new
releases these days but Annihilator always live up to the expectations. If you
enjoy classic speed, heavy or thrash metal from the 80's you should not miss
out on this album. When most bands try to be innovative and create something
unique Annihilator clings on to the past but they do it extremely well and
there is still a modern feeling about this
album.
