For The Demented (jewel case)

Annihilatorâ€™s brand-new album â€œFor The dementedâ€ promises to pack a premier punch. Thrash/Heavy Metal Legends to release 16th studio album on November 3rd, 2017 Since 1989, Canadaâ€™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 â€œdifferentâ€ Metal records with various lineups along the way), Jeff Waters and company have consistently delivered strong albums since the bandâ€™s debut â€œAlice In Hellâ€. Then there was 1990â€™s best-selling â€œNever, Neverlandâ€, 1995â€™s â€œKing of The Killâ€, â€œSchizo Deluxeâ€ in 2005 and many other critically-acclaimed releases up until 2015â€™s â€œSuicide Society.â€ The â€˜under-the-radarâ€™ 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. ANNIHILATORâ€™s main man Jeff Waters, in his usual humble manner, offers this in response: â€œANNIHILATORâ€™s music has been influenced by a good hundred of my favorite bands and musicians; you can hear their contributions to what I have been doing all throughout ANNIHILATORâ€™s catalogue. Itâ€™s a bonus and an honor when bands and musicians I love mention that I had something to do with their playing or songs!â€ Which all leads to the fact that ANNIHILATORâ€™S 16th studio release, â€œFor The Dementedâ€, is certainly their most complete and definitive statement yet. â€œIt was time to analyze what a lot of fans over the years have kept telling me,â€ says Waters. â€œIt was time to sit down and figure out â€œwhyâ€ ANNIHILATORâ€™s early â€œthrash-meets-melodicâ€ caught the ears of so many AND to try to sweep the â€œfanâ€ 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.â€ Waters didnâ€™t venture back alone, while looking back through ANNIHILATORâ€™S history. â€œI was well aware that trying to re-capture the past usually fails, or at least wonâ€™t come close. So, I decided to bring in fresh ears, both musically and physically with Rich Hinks, my bassist for the last few years. And doing most all of the records by myself, including writing and playing most all on my own, as well as mixing, mastering, engineering, etcâ€¦, well it can become routine and can often hinder you from being objective and more creative. Rich came in and co-wrote the music with me, as well as co-produced the beginning stages of the record. His background of classic thrash metal meets a newer â€œmathâ€ metal style was the perfect combination for me to simply ask, â€œwhat do you think of this?â€ He would most-often reply with â€œnot the ANNIHILATOR style I likeâ€, so we would keep going until we both felt that core ANNIHILATOR riffing and writing style presented itself. â€œBottom line, â€œFor The Dementedâ€ captures some feel from ANNIHILATORâ€™s 1985-87 demos mixed with the first 4 ANNIHILATOR records. Back to the thrash meets melody but with some pure Waters guitar riffing, up-graded lead guitar shredding and vocals back to the demo-days meets the â€œKing of The Killâ€ record. Lyrically, I placed a theme on the record: the human mind and all of its glory, complexity, diversity, weaknesses and insanity! Pretty much the craziness of the music is matched by the lyrics.â€ â€œI think Metal Fans are going to hear much of what they have been waiting for from ANNIHILATOR.â€ FOR THE DEMENTED will be released via Neverland Music/Silver Lining Music on November 3rd, 2017 and will be available in a Limited Edition Digipack with a Lenticular cover, a jewel-case CD, a 12â€ 180gms coloured vinyl in a gatefold and digital download.
