Annihilator will kick off their summer tour schedule with a show in Ottawa, ON (Canada) on May 1st at The Brass Monkey.

Annihilator has sold close to 2 million records since 1989 and is currently working on its 14th studio album, which is slated for release in August. The band has toured with acts like JUDAS PRIEST (twice), IRON MAIDEN, PANTERA, TRIVIUM, TESTAMENT, ALICE IN CHAINS, MEGADETH, RAMMSTEIN, as well as completed 29 tours in Europe, Japan and South America as headliner. Annihilator’s founder and lead guitarist, Jeff Waters, is considered by many music journalists and metal fans to be one of the best guitarists in the world.

This is your opportunity to witness, up close and personal, the band that much of the world's heavy metal community consider to be one of the most important bands in the history of the genre. See this rare Canadian appearance, live at The Brass Monkey, before the band jets off to South America for another sold-out performance.

Opening the evening will be local hard rockers A DARKER DAY. The last time Annihilator played Ottawa tickets were gobbled up in a few hours. Don't be disappointed, get yours fast.
