9th album from 2002 by the Canadian ANNIHILATOR, one of the most influential bands in Technical Thrash Metal. “Waking the Fury” finds Jeff Waters bringing back much of the aggression and speed that defined the band’s early years, combining razor-sharp riffs, flawless execution and a more direct and hard-hitting approach than several of their previous releases.
The album stands out for its relentless intensity, intricate guitar work and an approach that blends classic Thrash Metal with more modern elements, supported by a powerful and aggressive production. Jeff Waters’ performance once again takes center stage through a collection of memorable riffs and an impressive display of technical skill that keeps the energy level high from start to finish.
Recommended for fans of MEGADETH, TESTAMENT, FORBIDDEN and NEVERMORE.
