- Canadian Heavy Metal/Thrash Legends Debut “Dressed Up For Evil” Lyric Video; New Full-Length, Ballistic, Sadistic, Nears Release Via Silver Lining
Heavy metal/thrash metal legends ANNIHILATOR today debut the shredding new lyric video for “Dressed Up For Evil.” The band’s latest single, from the band’s seventeenth studio album, Ballistic, Sadistic, is set for release January 24th via Silver Lining Music.
Founding guitarist, vocalist, producer, and principal songwriter Jeff Waters of the track, “Evil in the guise of a man; that's how I would describe the theme in this one. People who have no good in them. Destroying all in their way with abuse, lies, and negativity. Generally, just being a nasty human being and ruining lives in the name of money; thinking that it makes them special. It just makes them evil and a waste of life. Musically-speaking, this one is as old-school ANNIHILATOR metal as it gets. It's obvious that the vibe in this tune reminds us of the early days of the band; even extending back to the demo days from ‘84-‘88. A highlight for me in this song is the legendary voice of Raven's John Gallagher on backing vocals with Durham's Kat Shevil Gillham (Winds Of Genocide). An honor to have John on this record and his voice helps make this song a killer. Oh, and lots of shred guitar, as some have been demanding for a while! We hope you like this one... we do!"
Find the band’s previously released videos for “I Am Warfare”, “Psycho Ward” and “Armed To The Teeth” HERE: • Ballistic, Sadistic
Produced, engineered, and mixed by Waters, Ballistic, Sadistic was recorded at the brand new, state-of-the-art Watersound Studios UK in Durham earlier this year with additional engineering and editing by bassist Rich Hinks and mastering by Maor Appelbaum (Faith No More, Halford) at Maor Appelbaum Mastering in California.
Ballistic, Sadistic will be available in limited-edition digipak, vinyl, and digital formats January 24th, 2020 via Silver Lining Music. For preorders, go to: hyperurl.co/BallisticSadistic
A name needing no introduction in the metal world, ANNIHILATOR was forged in Canada in late 1984. Since then, the band has been touring and releasing records, selling millions of albums to date, nonstop, for over thirty years. Cited by bands like Megadeth, Pantera, Dream Theater, Children Of Bodom, Lamb Of God, Opeth, Trivium, and so many more as having influence on their music, Jeff Waters and ANNIHILATOR have continued to tour the world, year after year, whilst consistently putting out high-quality true-metal music. It takes time, patience, and perseverance to reach legendary status, and no one can dispute that ANNIHILATOR are inspirations, teachers, legends, and a force demonstrating what hard work and love of your craft can bring to the world.

“Something really lit a spark under Waters' ass this time around, and he has channeled it into one of the finer moments in his - and ANNIHILATOR's - long career.” -- Knac.com
“Ballistic, Sadistic as the latest ANNIHILATOR offering assembles the best aspects of diversity and skilled, technical-laden songwriting to create a record that bridges the past to the present.” -- Dead Rhetoric

Loved the chorus:
"Word Salad, no ballad!
Word Salad, no ballad!"
....wait a minute
Exactly.
Reperitive
Very close indeed!!
The bridge is familiar too.
Good metal tho!!
Oh man, now i cannot un-hear-it! :(
hahahaha indeed!!!
That mix of old and new Annihilator styles is simply amazing. I love that melodies combined with smashing riffs and political lyrics. Another masterpiece, Mr Aguas.
El señor Aguas Debe buscar un vocalista y asi completar esta nueva formula :D ...
Imagine a song starting at 3:06. What a great song that would be.
That's why i love Annihilator! From Alice in Hell up to now and for eternity!🤘
annihilator is the real Big 4
OMG... 3rd Best Metal Album of 2020 ! 1st Rage and 2nd Testament. Awful year but these masterpieces make my days more shinny! ❤❤❤🤘🤘🤘
Serious thrash here - color me impressed - This may be the strongest Annihilator output ever - solid songs on this album
Annihilator is the only band in entire World that really Honours Metal! \m/
reminds me of old time Annihilator
great track
Wow! Powerful song!
30 years ago : listening them
2020: ...still listening them,still enjoying the power! \m/ Annihilator! \m/
This song has to be the most 'progressive' song of the album. Tons of different progressions especially after the 3rd minute. Love it. This has to be my favourite from this album.
Music starts at 0:25
Holy sh*t! Jeff is serious! This reminds me of first two Annihilator LPs and I have pre-ordered an LP of this as well - can't wait for it!
Great song!!! annihilator was one of my very first thrash bands back in 1987/88.
LEGENDS!!!!
Oh, boy! This one is a blast. I think this is gonna be the Thrash Metal record of the year! 🤘🏼
Nop. It will be Warbringer and Power Trip
@@DragonFist9323 NO
@@rasmusericsson7571 no what bitch?
Warbringer, Exodus, Power Trip, Megadeth, Testament, Hazzerd and Havok are releasing album as well. Gonna be great year for thrash.
@@DragonFist9323 what the hell do you think I meant. You're pretty stupid if you didn't understand
Amazing technical song. Welcome back Annihilator. Best song since Waking the fury(incredibly underrated album).
Mainly because this album's guitar sound is crap.
Schizos deluxe was best after 90's.
39 downed thumbs need slammed in car doors!
This track is bad ass! Jeff Waters is a beast!
Best album from Annihilator in awhile........stay heavy!
Sounds like this album is going to be similar to Refresh the Demon, which is truly an underrated album :)
The reviews I've seen, what I think, what my friends think, and what you think, is nothing but positive. It seems many people are taking about how nice this album is. Let's hope this Annihilator formation keeps working harder for their, and our enjoyment!
Refresh the Demon was my first Annihilator Album. Bought it in 1997, I was 12.
Still my fav today.
Ballistic is ten times better than For the demented but not close to Refresh in my opinion. I suppose it’s still to young, I have to give it time.
Cheers from France and everybody take care, because the virus we’re fighting right now is far from perfect. See what I did there?
Refresh is my favourite album for some reason I don't know why. I love Alice in hell and never never Land too which are there most popular but refresh I find the easiest to listen too and I throw it on alot more I don't know why lol.
Yyyeeesss, cool song. Funny/old-school riffs and super bass break in the middle. Album gonna be good!
Money sure is evil when temptation can lead to a sadistic choice of... betrayal, for example!
It's a sick world, Man, and Jeff proves his point on how we speak of these things!
Been looking forward to the new album for a few months. Love the track, reminiscent of Never Neverland and Set the World on Fire (imo). Nice to hear some old school in the riff. Super job, Jeff and crew.
AMAZING LYRICS ...AMAZING SONG ..... AMAZING VIDEO ..... AMAZING GROUP
This song is a essential classic thrash-metal!
Nice...I dig the reworking of the Word Salad part too...
Mind-blowing track! But do I hear some "Word salad" during the verses? :D
EndlessPain120 i hear it too, one of my favourites!!
was thinking the same thing, has a slight variation to the riff but they change the following part pretty significantly. i'm okay with it. gotta remember it's the same guy writing the songs so sometimes re-writing riffs happens i guess. however, i still think it sounds cool as hell!!!
THERE IS ONLY 12 CHORDS !! WRITE AS MANY SONGS AS JEFF WATERS HAS ............ AND YOU WILL HEAR SIMILAR RIFFS! BUT WHO THE FUCK CARES!!?? THE SONG FUCKING ROCKS!! RIGHT!!!!!!!???? METAL!!!!......
Evil never dies.🤘🤘🤘
All album like remixes for old songs. Jeff, it's great!!!!!!!!!!
Kickass, what a leap of creativity! This one is also hugely similar to Megadeth which is another good thing in our book.
Here you have.... Annihilator! Awesome
The riff at 3:59, my god I was hoping for one more repetition! Oh well still awesome
Refresh the Evil!
COME TO BRAZIL PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE !! WE LOVE YOU JEFF!! Master of riffs.
SMK agreed! Sao Paulo more specifically
The best of canadian bands
Rippin! Love it. Can't wait for the CD to arrive.
I love the Word Salad moment in the song. Killer record, have been listening to it a lot lately.
Why is nobody talking about the transitions between 2:55 and 3:06 some of the best guitar riffs I’ve heard in years.....
My thoughts exactly! And the growl at the end, with a cough...I nearly pissed my pants🤣
Jeff waters 1 of the best Legends of thrash 35 years on still brilliantly performing wicked stuff
Fantastisk music :)
Looking forward 24th January! That will be top of my list for sure
That World Salad vibes! Cool song!
Already first great Thrash album of the year. Gonna buy the CD. Next Testament, Megadeth, Anthrax, Warbringer, Power Trip are expected to drop new albums.
This is actually a pleasant surprise. Despite the clear references to the glory days (Word Salad), this is a very cool song!
Wickedly great
This Is The Best
ANNIHILATOR Album In Years!! Maybee the Best Trash Album In 2020!!!! And Jeff Waters Is Damn Awesome. .He Nailed It. .Kickass Yehhhhh
Excellent!!!
the best album of the year. no doubt.
Awesome album. I just ordered my copy.
Congratulations Jeff! You were able to recover after David left !!! Great sound !!! Come to San Francisco, I will go now
I have listened to annihilator since late 90s im 50...the annihilator i want to hear involves dave paddon and the songs being cerebral.

4:09 best part of the solo.
That "yeeeaaaaaah" in 4:06 makes me laugh
If they're saving the best songs for last they must really be good
🖤
Those bass breaks are amazing /,,/
Breaking news: Wildfires in Canada.
...caused by Annihilator's latest single.
You mean Britain. Annihilator is no longer from Canada.
@@ShadovvV Annihilator is Jeff Waters and he is from Canada.
@@EmrahUncu - Correction: He WAS from Canada. He moved to England a few years ago.
Usa may have good metal bands but our country canada has good talented musicians as well 🤘🏻
absolutely brutal
Love It :)
Hell yeah! 🤘🏽
Overtones of a lot of the early stuff .. nice..
Congratulations on album number 17 Jeff!!!
0:47 sounds alot like Word Salad. Not note for note, but still.
nice one
John Gallagher from raven on backup vox
Hmm, Nice, but I'm detecting some hard similarities with Word Salad
Nice. Although i think Jeff has been chasing the early Annihilator sound and feel way too long now. He's THE metal guitarist, so talented, and i would really like to hear him going a little more progressive. Anyway, i love em' and I have followed Annihilator since day 1, and they have a special place in my metal heart.
"I like him, I just wish he played differently."
That's basically what you just said.
Happy Birthday Jeff Waters!\m/❤🤘🎤🎸
Love u guys!!!!!!!!
Foockin' Sweeet!!!!!
Fuck yeah mama! This is why I got into Annihilator in the first place
🤘😈
How do I like this video more than once?
Lyrics are surprisingly a bit better than the regular Jeff stuff.
That guitar solo is so fucki'n good
This is an old song re-worked with new lyrics, right? Some riffs and vocal melodies are identical to something off their first album.
👍
I hear parts of Reduced To Ash.
World Salad and W.T.Y.D XXI century style
Agree. The riff at 0:47 is Word Salad.

Moshlem 666, their song the Attitude is pure 80's style Speed Metal. This is their best album since 1990...
Great bands in there.
Only Fantastic
Would be a great tune on a "Fuck the Man" compilation. D.R.I. Suit and Tie Guy should be there too.
The Word Salad section is just too close to be its own entity.
I let the 'Alice In Hell' piece in the solo (@2.28) go tho lol
I've been very candid with my thoughts on the new album
(and every other album from the last 15 or so years)
BUT...
i have to say.....
(The Word Salad section notwithstanding,... )
this is the best thing i've heard from the album,..
in fact this is the best thing i've heard from Annihilator in EIGHTEEN YEARS.
If we lost the wah pedal, i think i could even muster a gentlemans erection.
Never disappoints.
I love it
I thought I was listening to 'Road to Ruin', the second half of the verse uses almost the same riff and vocal melody
I heard it also...this whole album is recycled riffs...but I'm kinda ok with it, lol
@@DSchea He is good at it, no doubt either way, riff master
This song is similar to that(riffs) of Megadeth. I think Dave Mustain will fit in with this song. Anyway, I like this song cause I'm used to it.
Waters was invited to try out for Megadeth in 1989
oooo hell yea!!!!!!!!!
The clip sucks, but the song is easily the best of the first four of the new album.
It's not great Annihilator like Criteria for a black album or Never Neverland (the drumming is not so good and for Annihilator, it's a big problem), but the break is the kind of thing that i love in this band - listen to "My precious lunatic asylum" on "Waking the fury" if you like that kind of break !
Actually it's a perfect album so you're opinion is invalid
@@darksector_0675, LOL.
I don't think like you so my opinion is invalid.
This is a good one !
yeah, the breaks in these new songs are great. though i do like the drum sound and feel Fabios choices fit really well with Jeff. personally. haha. tone is awesome
@@davidrossi9499 that isn't the point. The point is you're complaining to much about how they used to sound
this rox!
