release notes:
TOTAL ANNIHILATION will celebrate the band's 20th anniversary year with
the release of their fourth full-length "Mountains of Madness". This
album delivers all the Swiss precision and trademark elements their
following has come to expect of them but also with more of everything:
more tempo and serious speed, more brutality, more power, more thrash,
more death but also more harmonies, more melodies, and more musicality!
There are also more tentacles, more jaws, more razor-sharp teeth, more
twisted mutation, and definitely more evil! "Mountains of Madness" is
conceived as an echo of and a bold manifesto about the state of the world
as well as an artistic sign of our time. Back in the year 2006 things
looked less bleak when a bunch of young musicians were just looking for
some good times. Vocalist Daniel Altwegg had joined forces with three of
his friends and a hot desire to simply form the hardest, loudest, and
rawest metal band of their Swiss home, the City of Basel. After a phase
of stylistic experiments, the band settled for an aggressive yet melodic
course that combined elements of death and thrash metal. For all of those
who are sick and tired of hearing the same stuff all over again, TOTAL
ANNIHILATION offer the perfect cure with "Mountains of Madness": simply
more of everything!
