Ottawa, Canada (1984 – present)
Annihilator is a thrash metal band founded by Jeff Waters in Ottawa, Canada in 1984.
Along with singer John Bates, the original line-up was complete when drummer Paul Malek and bassist Dave Scott (Richer) joined the band.
Bates and Scott decided to leave the following year citing artistic differences and personality conflicts. Waters relocated to Vancouver where he assembled a whole new line-up, including former D.O.A. member Randy Rampage. Waters has continued to shuffle the line-up, including singers, throughout the band’s history.

Carnival Diablos is pretty mediocre imo, Liquid Oval is the only outstanding song on that album, but it's one hellova beautiful piece.

@Chris1306 try King of the Kill (better and clearer sound than the first 3 albums, for me ofc), Never,Neverland (one of the best thrash albums I've ever heard) and maybe Carnival Diablos (plenty of amazing riffs, nice vocals)

Debatable. It's a pretty killer acoustic instrumental, none the less.

Crystal Ann is the greatest intro track ever! :))

v By listening to the first 3 you might get the clearest view on this band by listening to the least of their discography: AH is mostly their raw and more aggressive, thrashy side, on N,N they have more progressive influences and the album is generally more melodic (and it is imo their best by far), STWOF has lots of melodic stuff, also typicall for them: beautiful ballads and more traditional and appealing heavy metal/hard rock (but which is awesome none the less). There, I think that is how you may begin :)
