ANNIHILATOR will release their highly-anticipated 16th studio album, For The Demented, tomorrow, November 3, 2017 via Neverland Music/Silver Lining Music. The album will be available in a Limited Edition Digipack with Lenticular cover, a jewel-case CD, a 12″ 180gms coloured vinyl in gatefold and digital download. Pre-order now, at this location.
They say great (and often bad) things happen in threes, and ANNIHILATOR is proving the superstition on the eeriest day of the year! Combining heavy metal greatness with malevolent horror, the band is “thrilled” to reveal their extra-gory, NSFW third music video for the track “Pieces of You”, watch it below.
The following contains a graphic interpretation of a true crime story that includes potentially disturbing images and lyrical content,” says ANNIHILATOR‘s Jeff Waters. “We realize this is not exactly the most pleasant subject to write about, however, in the world of being a writer and musician, sometimes these stories can spawn a song! While many of the songs from the new album For The Demented have positive messages in them, this one does not!
Waters adds, “This is about a criminally insane guy who murdered his “annoying” girlfriend to “silence” her voice. He then eats pieces of her, as a means of keeping her alive inside of him. Yeah, crazy, but when you watch horror movies, crime shows and own a few Cannibal Corpse t-shirts, this is tame in comparison.
I like the three dimensions of this: seeing the lyrics roll by: hearing/feeling the music and watching the horror… almost difficult to take it all in, in one view. Enjoy “Pieces Of You”, if you can!”
Check out two additional videos/tracks released from For The Demented so far here:
For The Demented is being touted as a definitive and essential ANNIHILATORalbum by fans and press alike. Metal-Temple.com calls For The Demented, “…an utmost blessing, a crucial moment in ANNIHILATOR‘s career…” adding, “…[Jeff] Waters made a genius effort on this one, an official return back to the early days with an eruption of a gruesome attitude, attacking at will…”. MetalWani.com says, “For The Demented is a whirlwind listen…. ANNIHILATOR fans were promised a return to the brilliance of the “glory days,” and Waters has delivered.”
Jeff Waters felt that with For The Demented, it was time to analyze what fans had been telling him over the years. “It was time to sit down and figure out “why” ANNIHILATOR‘s early “thrash-meets-melodic” caught the ears of so many and to try to sweep the “fan” part of my writing/playing/singing out the door and welcome back the mostly-original Waters writing that was to be the first four ANNIHILATOR albums… Bottom line, For The Demented captures some feel from ANNIHILATOR‘s 1985-87 demos mixed with the first four ANNIHILATOR records… I think metal fans are going to hear much of what they have been waiting for from ANNIHILATOR.”
