Fans have been waiting for years and it's finally happening: the much sought-after and previously unavailable 'Annihilator' back-catalogue is getting a series of re-issues via earMUSIC. 'Metal II' stands out as a fully re-recorded, newly mixed by Mike Fraser (AC/DC, Aerosmith and many more) and re-mastered album in a new line-up, featuring Dave Lombardo (Slayer, Grip Inc. etc) on drums and Stu Block (Iced Earth) on vocals. The guest list on the album is huge: Willie Adler from 'Lamb Of God', Alexi Laiho from 'Children Of Bodom', Steve 'Lips' Kudlow from 'Anvil', Dan Beehler from 'Exciter', Jesper Strömblad from 'In Flames' - just to name a few. Annihilator's 'Metal II' is dedicated to the memory of Eddie Van Halen & Alexi Laiho (CoB).
