Annihilator guitarist/founder Jeff Waters has checked in with the following update.

"Annihilator's studio CD #15 (yes, think about that: 15 records since 1989) in the can, done, see ya, woohoo, phew, KILLER. Catchiest and super-diverse Annihilator record since back in the day. I'm gonna rate this one an 8.9 out of 10, keeping in mind, Never, Neverland and Alice in Hell would be a 9.5 and 9 respectively to me!

The last CD, Feast, was a good 7.5! Schizo Deluxe (2005) was an 8.5. It's a 'ratings' morning, I see!

New beast will be released before our headline Europe In The Blood Tour in September 2015. I am pretty sure most of you will hear this and have a lot of these chorus' running through your heads; like them or not! See some of you this summer at the mighty euro-festivals!"
