Annihilator - Carnival Diablos (CD)

'Carnival Diablos' is an album of red-blooded metal that connected Annihilator's legacy to their present-day and re-established Jeff Waters' place in the thrash pantheon. From the frenzied call-and-response of album opener `Denied' to the progressively-edged mid-tempo sway of the title track, 'Carnival Diablos' is a wholly satisfying offering of steak and potatoes heavy metal thrash - more heavy metal, less thrash, but 100% Annihilator at one of their many peaks.
