Annihilator are back with their typically infectious and powerful brand of hard rock.
‘Couple Suicide‘ featuring Danko Jones and Angela Gossow, is taken from the new album Metal II and tells the story of what may be a doomed relationship if only the protagonist could find a solution. Set against a backdrop of raging guitars, water-tight drumming, and a flawless vocal, Annihilator prove once again why they are revered throughout the metal scene.
Jeff Waters said: “I’m a big fan of Danko and Angela. Danko and I have written songs over the years. He is a badass rocker meets punk rocker with a bit of Pop and Metal in there, plus he’s a nice guy! He and I discussed doing a project/record together someday! Angela was the vocal Queen of her genre and I loved her in Arch Enemy. It’s such a conflicting and opposite end of the spectrum vocal pairing, that it has to be cool! And it is!”
METAL II has been given an incredible overhaul with the one and only Dave Lombardo (Dead Cross, ex-Slayer) killing the drums and lead vocals “re-invented” by the great Stu Block (Into Eternity).
Waters passed over mixing duties to legendary engineer Mike Fraser (AC/DC, Van Halen) and it was remastered by Maor Appelbaum. The guest list on the album is huge with more than a dozen killer artists from bands like Lamb Of God, Arch Enemy, Children Of Bodom, Nevermore, In Flames, Trivium, Danko Jones, Anvil, The Haunted and Lynam: One big metal party!
