Annihilator "King Of The Kill" CD

”Hey there Jeff Waters! Have you finally decided to be the vocalist? Well, that’s awesome!!” This is Annihilator’s fourth studio album, and it is very underrated. It is a true classic indeed! Well, let’s get on with the godamn review then!
The first track “The Box” is a strange one. It isn’t bad, but not something you’d like to listen to again and again. Jeff Waters sounds ok on this song. The mixing on his voice is actually pretty cool. However, the second track which is the title track is a LOT better! This is one of my favourite Annihilator songs of all time actually. It may not be as good as “Alison Hell” but it is a true classic! The guitar riff is the main part of the song, and that is the reason why it is so fucking good. Jeff Waters voice suits perfectly in as well.
There are many other good tracks on this album as well. “Hell Is A War” starts off as a ballad, but suddenly it changes dramatically. It get’s a lot heavier, and in the end, it changes back to the ballad it started as. A very interesting song indeed! Then there is the song “Annihilator” which is really good as well. On this song, the guitar is also surprisingly good. The only thing is that after I’ve listened to it a few times, it gets boring and I have to wait a while before I listen to it again.
However, not all songs on this album is that good. The song “Second To None” is really nothing special, and neither is the instrumental “Bliss.” It isn’t a perfect album. But since there are songs on this album that are great, it drowns the worse songs.
The album “King Of The Kill” is a true classic, and it shows what Jeff Waters is capable of. He really knows how to make devastating riffs and incredible solos. Of course, it isn’t really comparable to albums like “Peace Sells” or “Rust In Peace” by Megadeth, but it doesn’t really matter. The album isn’t really thrash metal either, but I don’t really care. Although I am a hardcore thrasher, I can listen to different music without crapping my pants. So if you want a creative album, then check this one out!
