Record Label: Roadrunner Records
Music: Jeff Waters
Lyrics: Jeff Waters / John Bates

Annihilator's first record is a landmark in Canadian metal. I wouldn't describe this record as fully Technical or Progressive Thrash but it certainly rides the line between the two with little twists and turns featured in some of the tracks. Jeff Waters' lead playing - for me - steals the album with tasty pinch harmonics thrown into each riff. Some of the highlights have to be the opening classical Guitar track "Crystal Ann" to the brief harmonized interlude in "Welcome to Your Death", unexpected moments like those ended up being the most memorable. The technicality and sophistication shown throughout the album was thankfully further expanded upon in Never Neverland.

This album was an easier one for me to remaster. Most of the issues stemmed from a strange amount of 2khz - 2.5khz that ruined the electric guitar tone. Other than decreasing that and doing the typical bass increase and high end treatment, it didn't take that long to finish.

Lyrics & Blurb from Vinyl Insert
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
["Incarcerated in an age old asylum , his cell runs rampant with menacing little creatures who flaunt their freedom by roaming so freely. Powerless to the cruelty and extreme disconcern of his human restraints, he finds timeless contentment by playing officer, judge and executioner over his 'cell mates'. The final sentence is always obliteration."]

Psychotic tendencies have put me here for life
Dreams of smashing little things before they ruin my life
Find means capable of smothering a flea
Extermination is their end, escaping not from me

Retaliate
Decapitate - I love to see them bleed
Annihilate
I am human insecticide

Creepy black mass, I see one down below
Prepare to strike, act quickly now, strike the fatal blow
Extinguishing the menace, they will know my name
Destroying these, the lives of waste, delivered now to pain

Retaliate
Decapitate - I love to see them bleed
Annihilate
I am human insecticide

Asphyxiate the flame of life
From hatred they will die
Power kept in my control
Their souls are caged with mine

Expelled from life, they cannot hide, I will find them out
Their game's lost, I hunt them down, their end without a doubt
Psychotic tendencies, my dreams are coming true
My plans are set without repent, I'm tightening the screw

Retaliate
Decapitate - I love to see them bleed
Annihilate
I am human insecticide
