Waters will be the featured guest on Hard Rock Radio Live this Friday, June 25th. The broadcast begins at 1 PM (EST). Go to www.hardrockradiolive.com to tune in.

As previously reported, Annihilator's faithful cover of VAN HALEN's hardened classic 'Romeo Delight' can be heard now at Annihilatormetal.com.

The new self-titled Annihilator CD has been out in Europe, Japan and Australia since May 17th, while North America has had iTunes, Amazon and many other digital/online services making the new CD available for download-only - and legally.

Annihilator main-man Jeff Waters: "Although the new CD, Annihilator, has been doing fantastic on ITunes and other online outlets, the new CD is still not available in North America. For those who legally downloaded it here, we thank you and would like to offer you, at least, the booklet and cover to check out, until the physical CD comes out here. Check it out here.

Also coming soon will be an announcement on touring this fall in Europe and other territories. It is going to be a blast and we're looking forward to a headlining tour this time around. To play the approximately two hour set we want to do has been a while coming and the surge in new fans and strength of the older fans has driven our new CD past, sales-wise, anything we have done for a long, long time! Thanks to all of you new and old."
