Cited by bands like MEGADETH, PANTERA, DREAM THEATER, CHILDREN OF BODOM, LAMB OF GOD, OPETH, TRIVIUM, and so many more as having an influence on their music, Jeff Waters and ANNIHILATOR have continued to tour the world, year after year, whilst consistently putting out high-quality true-metal music. It takes a long time to reach legendary status, and no one can dispute that ANNIHILATOR is inspirations, teachers, legends, and a force demonstrating what hard work and love of your craft can bring to the world.

Founding guitarist, vocalist, producer and principal songwriter Jeff Waters of the track: "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!

Today's tune "Armed To The Teeth" is the opening tune on "Ballistic, Sadistic", enjoy the Metal.
