ANNIHILATOR Releases ‘Armed To The Teeth’ Music Video

“Armed To The Teeth”, the new video from Canadian thrash metal veterans ANNIHILATOR, can be seen below. The track is taken from the band’s upcoming album, “Ballistic, Sadistic”, due on January 24, 2020 via Silver Lining Music.

Founding guitarist, vocalist, producer and principal songwriter Jeff Waters states about the song:
“‘Armed To The Teeth’ is simply about how one should never judge a book by its cover. If you poke a bear with a stick, abuse or bully someone, or treat a living creature with disrespect, be prepared that it might turn around and retaliate, far beyond what you ever thought possible. The retaliation could be ballistic and sadistic. Whether it’s about a music industry jerk bullying an artist or about a kid being bullied on the way home from school, karma will catch up to you and bite you in the face. Someday.

“Although this is a very heavy and aggressive song, we chose to represent the subject by clips of a teen getting bullied; a serious, common, and relevant subject to touch on… and we thought it more appealing than showing this 53-year-old musician taking shit from someone in the music biz! Enjoy the metal.“

Cited by bands in the likes of MEGADETH, PANTERA, DREAM THEATER, CHILDREN OF BODOM, LAMB OF GOD, OPETH, TRIVIUM and many, many more as having some influence on their music, Waters and his bandmates have continued to tour the world year after year while consistently putting out high-quality “true metal” music.

Written, performed, engineered and produced by none other than Waters himself, “Ballistic, Sadistic” was recorded at the brand new, state-of-the-art Watersound Studios UK in Durham earlier this year.
