│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ An entryway to a freak show is unexpected, ║ │
│║ dangerous even, who knows what shapes and images ║ │
│║ that mind will be setting in. After getting out ║ │
│║ of hand with the ôSuicide Societyö, it was ║ │
│║ probably a good timing to get back to the ║ │
│║ drawing board of the human mind, take back the ║ │
│║ cool features of the brain that have always been ║ │
│║ a potential attraction. Work and play without ║ │
│║ really being there, that is the spirit. ║ │
│║ Throughout the decades of the Canadian ║ │
│║ ANNIHILATOR, featuring their respectful leader ║ │
│║ Jeff Waters, the general joint conclusion was ║ │
│║ that insanity has its magical moments. It might ║ │
│║ be a crypt of some of the deadliest deeds and ║ │
│║ sceneries that could be battered out of a human ║ │
│║ being, but also a place of comfort, an out of ║ │
│║ body experience that has the knack of being ║ │
│║ endless, even if subdued. Unfortunately, there ║ │
│║ is no Alice, but there enough of the demented ║ │
│║ stuff to take you on yet another journey through ║ │
│║ the course of thoughts that would better not ║ │
│║ surface in real life in ôFor The Dementedö, via ║ │
│║ Silver Lining Music. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ I took the time to read the statements about ║ │
│║ this album, even though its diverse style has ║ │
│║ already been known to me. Back to the grizzled ║ │
│║ game has been a common ground among long lasting ║ │
│║ bands, to restart the old energies, and check ║ │
│║ out if there is enough juice to ride with. ║ │
│║ Apparently, Waters and Co. had everything they ║ │
│║ need in order to retrace previous footsteps and ║ │
│║ put the blast into the past. In the course of ║ │
│║ their time machine travel, ANNIHILATOR never put ║ │
│║ aside some of the modern aspects that took a ║ │
│║ stature as means of their evolution, especially ║ │
│║ in the last decade or so, such as the groove ║ │
│║ element that took a hard bite at the riffs for ║ │
│║ instance. Amassing the old and the new, sewn ║ │
│║ together like a freshly made rag doll, resulted ║ │
│║ in an interesting exploration, melodic Speed and ║ │
│║ Thrash Metal fashioned by the bandÆs heritage ║ │
│║ along with stints out of the box to rattle the ║ │
│║ cage, into different universes of music. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Call me sentimental, but this time I am starting ║ │
│║ out with the softer touch. ôNot All Thereö is an ║ │
│║ all-out ANNIHILATOR. It is a perfect unification ║ │
│║ of the first several albums, channeling the ║ │
│║ special atmosphere created with the human brain ║ │
│║ as main. Furthermore, the attributing of ║ │
│║ compelling heaviness portrayed by amazing riffs ║ │
│║ along, gets a fine mix with a few surprises ║ │
│║ along the way coming different varieties of Rock ║ │
│║ direction along with emotional motifs. This is a ║ │
│║ major hit, a special song that should last for ║ │
│║ ages. This is what I see as an all-around artist ║ │
│║ people. Continuing with the tenderhearted type, ║ │
│║ or is it? I never thought that I would ever ║ │
│║ again come across such a ballad out of this band ║ │
│║ as ôPieces of Youö. This is a highly special mix ║ │
│║ of the softness of ôSounds Good To Meö / ôIn The ║ │
│║ Bloodö along with a deadliness that is immensely ║ │
│║ soothing, a pictorial of insanity that is off ║ │
│║ the charts and a bit meaty. ôThe Wayö is another ║ │
│║ jackpot, a derailing Hardcore oriented grooving ║ │
│║ with a shot of Punk end up being a cool Hard ║ │
│║ Rock meets Metal. Waters with one of his better ║ │
│║ singing performances of late, commanding over an ║ │
│║ 80s kind of MOTLEY CRUE with swings, employing ║ │
│║ late 60Æs Rock NÆ Roll jive with great soloing. ║ │
│║ If insanity is what you were looking for, this ║ │
│║ one takes the pick. ôAltering the Alterö as if ║ │
│║ spawned off the ôRefresh The Demonö or ôAlice In ║ │
│║ Hellö albums, a strong lyrical tune, the ║ │
│║ keyboards along with the mixed riffing surely ║ │
│║ made an impact on the road into dissonance. A ║ │
│║ hell of a deranged tune, one of the albumÆs ║ │
│║ cleverest. Lastly, I think that Waters made a ║ │
│║ genius effort on this one, an official return ║ │
│║ back to the early days with an eruption of a ║ │
│║ gruesome attitude, attacking at will, ôTwisted ║ │
│║ Lobotomyö demonstrates the madness that served ║ │
│║ the debut album with a few pieces of the ║ │
│║ sophomore. The riffs are complex, destructive, ║ │
│║ brutal with a smelting sense of melody. I ║ │
│║ recommend to take shots of: ôOne to Killö and ║ │
│║ ôPhantom Asylumö. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ After the social crumble of 2015, ôFor The ║ │
│║ Dementedö came as an utmost blessing, a crucial ║ │
│║ moment in ANNIHILATORÆs career in my view, and a ║ │
│║ wonderful turning point that would sound better ║ │
│║ and better on each listen. DonÆt expect mere ║ │
│║ Thrash Metal guys, this guy has more up his ║ │
│║ sleeves than mere head bashing and skull ║ │
│║ breaking. This is what I have been waiting for. ║ │
