Album Review

Annihilator's brand of technical, thinking man's thrash metal garnered many fans with this fine debut, arguably the best release of the band's career. A brief acoustic guitar piece called "Crystal Ann" introduces the excellent title track: a psychological murder thriller supposedly based on a disturbed young girl's true story. Leader Jeff Waters takes himself a little too seriously at times (see the Edgar Allan Poe-influenced "Ligeia" and his ridiculously erudite commentary on each song's lyrics), but he is equally prone to refreshing flashes of humor on "Word Salad" and "Schizos Are Never Alone." The spectacularly named Randy Rampage proves himself to be a versatile vocalist on "Wicked Mystic" and "Burns Like a Buzzsaw Blade" (seriously). The careening closer "Human Insecticide" is magnificent for its sheer speed.

Thrash Metal At Its Prime

Annihilators debut album, and one of their best to date. Crystal Ann is possibly the best acoustic instrumental ever written. And the rest of the album is thrash metal gold that resembles old school Metallica or Slayer. Highlights are Alison Hell, Welcome To Your Death, Wicked Mystic, and Human Insecticide. The only negative about the album is that Randy Rampages' voice is a little rough, but it's not really that big of a deal. Overall, Alice In Hell is one of Annihilators best works, followed closely by Never, Neverland.

great cd!!!!!!!

guitar work is awsome start to finish

Long Live Rock890 In Hell

Quite honestly one of my favorite of all thrash releases. Top 3-5 easily. Gotta have Crystal Ann and Alison Hell together. Crystal Ann sets you up for the album's centerpiece.

Canadian thrashers Annihilator are the lifework of guitarist Jeff Waters, who founded the band in his native Vancouver in 1984 — just as the speed metal revolution was getting underway further to the south in the San Francisco Bay Area. Due in large part to this geographical isolation, Annihilator as a band phased in and out of existence over the next few years, with only Waters as a constant factor, but...
