About Me |
|
Anihilated evolved from their early Punk roots into a Thrash metal band in the early 1980's at the same time when Metallica and Slayer were first making their mark on the brand new American Thrash scene. After inclusions on two successful Punk compilation albums, Anihilated turned towards a more faster and metallic sound, a product of the massive influence that the Americans were having on them and soon released their first EP called "Path To Destruction" which was a raw example of Punk/Metal/crossover. These were the days before the Internet when bands relied on fanzines, letters and gigs to promote themselves. Anihilated featured heavily in fanzines and on bootleg recordings all over the world and soon became very well known in the underground scene. Although their musical style had changed, they upheld their Punk ideals and beliefs. This put off many record labels as they wanted bands with "Heavy Metal" persona's. It was a frustrating time for the band but they defiantly refused to give in to corporate pressures to change. After a number of high profile gigs, they gained the recognition they deserved, and emerged as one of the forerunners and innovators of Thrash Metal in the UK. Their first album "Created In Hate", was described by Metal Forces Magazine as "the most important UK Thrash metal release to date". Anihilated spent the next year out on the road before returning to the studio to record their second album "The Ultimate Desecration. This was widely regarded as their best studio album. Interest in Anihilated has remained strong over the years and even with no new releases in over 18 years, they have still been giving interviews and have featured in magazines and publications worldwide, they are being featured in Ian Glaspers new book about the history of British Thrash Metal and Hardcore that is due out this year. The band are re-connecting with their old faithfull following, and building a brand new army of fans via the internet. Anihilated have re-released "Path To Destruction" through Japanese label "In Crust We Thrash" distributed by Aktiva//Protesta Rekordo. This version includes the "Speedwell demos" of 1984. The "Created In Hate" and "The Ultimate Desecration" albums are being re-released under licence, these have been completely repackaged and digitaly enhanced and will include some live tracks. They will be out soon After overwealming support from fans and demands to reform, Anihilated have re-grouped and are writing new material again for a brand new album to be released later this year.
