ANNIHILATOR has announced a headline tour in Europe this fall. The band has just returned from a hugely successful European summer festival trip, playing to hundreds of thousands of real metal fans at festivals like Sonisphere, Masters Of Rock, Hellfest, Kavarna Rock and others.

Also of note, Annihilator have signed up with Steve Strange at XRAY Touring. Says Steve (agency director and Annihilator’s agent): “I am very proud to be working with Annihilator as their International booking agent and look forward to a long and fruitful relationship with them. This is one band that you must see live.”

Annihilator mastermind and guitar legend Jeff Waters comments: “First off, it was an honor to play for so many incredible metal fans this summer. Seeing our good friends in bands and crews from around the world was a bonus. Secondly, I need to thank Steve at XRAY Touring for taking Annihilator on. His support is giving us opportunities we’ve not seen before. Lastly, for all you Euro-metal fans, get ready! We are going to give 110% for you, as you are the reason that Annihilator is still going strong and even stronger than ever: Thanks to the fans!!

Annihilator just released its 13th studio CD (self-titled) in Europe through Earache Records. The new CD is available in Australia (Riot Ent.) and Japan (Marquee) and in the US/Canada/South and Central America via ITunes, Amazon and others.
