Canadian thrashers ANNIHILATOR have been confirmed for the Metal Dayz Festival, set to take place August 4 in Pratteln, Switzerland.
Commented ANNIHILATOR chief Jeff Waters: "More dates will announced soon but we will be returning to Europe for the entire month of July and a few weeks into August. There's also going to be a few surprises unleashed for this tour: the return of bassist Russ Bergquist and singer Dave Padden will also be playing guitar (this guy KILLS on guitar, people!). I will sing on songs like 'King of the Kill', 'Refresh the Demon' and others that I originally recorded/sang on."
Waters added: "The setlist will be chosen by our fans (affectionately known as 'Schizos') and while we will be playing some tunes from the critically acclaimed 'Schizo Deluxe' and the 'All For You' CDs, we have unearthed a few rarely heard classics for the fans, as well as delivering the songs that metalheads have demanded since our arrival on scene back in 1989."
ANNIHILATOR have just issued a retrospective double-disc DVD set, entitled "Ten Years in Hell", via SPV. The set contains seven classic, official ANNIHILATOR music videos, offstage band footage and bonus underground, fan-shot, live performances and a special interview with Waters as he recounts his memories of the band's "first ten years in Hell." Also included are special appearances by original co-lyricist John Bates, "Neverland" frontman Coburn Pharr, "Criteria" bassist Russell Bergquist, and "Set the World on Fire"'s Mike Mangini and Neil Goldberg.
