ANNIHILATOR have added Norway's SVÖLK - in addition to the previously announced SWORN AMONGST - to their Total Annihilation 2010 European Tour.

Guitarist / founder Jeff Waters comments:

"Svölk caught my eye (and ears) after a friend of mine suggested I check out this band that "sounds a bit like a cross between DANZIG, QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE mixed with some kick ass hard rock and heavy metal". I gave them a listen and liked it. Perfect package for the Annihilator tour now with hard rock, heavy metal, thrash metal and metal all being represented one bill! It's gonna be a kick ass tour!"

Note: Svölk will not be on the bill for the first 10 shows but will start the tour in Oslo, Norway until the last date in London, England. Check out Svölk at this location.
